Used 2002 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
Just a pile of problems and no fun
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.
Gads, I love my MINI !!!
I waited until I had my MINI for month so I could get a real feel for it before I wrote a review. This has been perhaps the happiest month driving I've ever had. Concerns for power should be reserved until you get a feel for the shift/motor. Only now am I able to get the car to launch from a standstill. The MINI is not a 3 series, but it is definitely a BMW. The handling is exceptional! I've done corners so fast that I'm almost slipping out of my seat, but the car feels glued to the road. As to looks, it's like being a pretty woman; everyone wants to say 'hi'.

Fun
To all the "I thought it was a $50,000 BMW": Do your crying somewhere else. Dollar for dollar the MINI COOPER S has to be the best value on the market. What other $20,000 dollar car has the technology this car has? What other $20,000 car has the handling this car has? NONE! This car is fun, fun, fun. If you can't figure it out and enjoy it for what it is... a fun car... then maybe you should go back to your ever boring BMW (Boring Mundane Wheels).
Fun to drive
The Mini S is a fun car to drive, and the Price is unbeatable for the car you get. The ride is hard, but is a Sport type suspension, no complains. I expected a little more from interior design (platics) but is better than the Japanese competitors. A few things have to change in future models like the D ring in the hack door... Noisy.
Excellent & Fun Car
Wow, what a car. Not only is it fun, it is exhilarating to just watch it sitting in the garage. I want to go and drive it now!
