Used 2002 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
If you drive >5 miles you need this car
I was out cruising in my '71 VW Bus when I was flagged down by a guy in a '50-something Mini. We checked out each other's rides, and ever since then I've been in love with these things! Driving them is a blast... racing with people on the interstate is even better... especially when there are curves involved! The look you get when you get to the next light after roasting your tires through 1st and 2nd is pretty nice too... The Mini may look small and be deemed a "waste of money" but until you actually drive it (if the owner will ever let you) the amount of fun to be had is unmatched.
Luv my Mini
My experience with my Mini is both a love affair and fun to drive. Not for a long time do I find myself missing driving a car if not for a few days. My Mini is like a family member. It has personality, charm, and people love to admire it.

It's a blast.
The cordoba leather seats, steering wheel and climate control not only add style, they add comfort. Mine came with 17" Antera wheels and Michelin 215/40 tires, making its handling unbelievable. I don't understand the people who say the car does not have enough power. If you know how to drive 4 cylinder with a stick shift, there is more than adequate power. And don't buy it on a whim...do your research. It's a MINI, not a BMW or a Porsche! Motoring on...

FIRST 750 MILES ON HIGHWAY FROM MEMPHIS TO TEXAS. IT ROCKS! SUPER GAS MILEAGE AND POWER THATS THERE WHEN YOU WANT IT.AWESOME AUDIO WAY TOO FUN TO DRIVE..AND AT EVERY STOP..A MAGNET. IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A 'MINI.."VAN"' THIS ISNT YOUR CUP OF TEA..BUT IF YOU HAVE MIND TO BUY A TWEED SPORT JACKET WITH LEATHER ELBOWS AND GET TENURED AT THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY ROCK ON!
HAS MET ALL EXPECTATIONS
FROM DEALERSHIP TO HOME, THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN POSITIVE. TORQUE AND HORSEPOWER ARE PLENTIFUL AND THE 6 SPEED TRANNY IS SPECIAL (DOWN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST IS RESIST FREE !). FROM BRAKES TO AUDIO SYSTEM, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. THE OWNER OF 2 PREVIOUS SI'S, THIS CAR HITS THE SPOT FOR ME.
