i test drove both the cooper and the cooper s. i loved them both. test drive it before you buy it, you'll agree, these are so much better than those hulking suvs on the road! plus you can run circles around those monsters as they make their way from gas station to gas station.

When I first saw the Mini last spring, I knew I wanted one. Just what I need at my age to make me feel young. I love the look of it inside and out. Everywhere I go I get Hi fives!

Fun to drive

The car is absolute fun to drive. Although straight line accelaration is acceptable, switching lanes and driving winding roads can't be much more fun then with this car. For daily commute the horsepower is more then adequate. But handling comes with a prize, dents and other road shortcomings are well fed back to the driver, although in a acceptable manner. Fuel consumption is average. If you do your best low fuel consumption is feasible, but the car invites you to a more robust driving style, hence a relatively high fuel comsumption for a1.6 L engine.

This is without doubt one of the most fun to drive vehicles I have ever had. It handles, it accelerates and it gets over 30 miles to the gallon. I have to fight with my wife over who gets to drive it. It's looks seem to have a Love it or Hate type of quality with people I meet, and you do meet people with it. Be prepared to tell people what it is and where they can get one!

I got my Mini a few weeks ago and it has been nothing short of a disaster. I spent money on the "S" and only recently found out that BMW has to go back to the drawing board. Apparently, 20% fail in the first 3000 miles according to my local dealership. I was one of the unfortuante ones. Live and learn I guess.
