i love the MINI, i think it is the best car out there for the money. There is so much room inside compared to what it looks like on the outside and the interior design is awesome. As for the exterior, i still have people look at the car when i drive by. It is so cool and fun to drive that i would recommend it to anyone. AWESOME CAR!!!

Unlimited fun-haven't driven my 530i since I got the Mini. Superb design and build quality for the price.

I was one of the lucky few to get one right after launch. It is a fun, feisty little car. It drives tight, quiet and perky. Accelaration is reasonable, albeit coming from a 6 cilinder motor it feels low powered.

This car handles almost as well as my 1991 Dodge Stealth. Plenty of leg room for 6'2 and above. Just bought it a week ago but no complaints as of yet. Keeping fingers crossed.

I feel that with all the positive reviews here, the MINI would be a great choice. A test drive revealed a few flawas, but I just thought I was being a little too picky. Well, three weeks with the car and it remains my biggest car purchase mistake ever. There is really nothing fun about this car. If you want excitement with this little amount of sheet metal, you might as well buy a motorcycle instead. That is basically what the car is like. It is something of a hybrid between a riding lawn mower and a motorcycle. Nice concept, but a very poor execution. Shame on BMW for putting this thing on the US market.
