I typically buy two to three new cars a a year. My favorite remains Porsche, however, I tried a MINI for a month to see what it would do. What a disappointment. The standard MINI shifter was terrible. So, I got the S which was only marginally better. Poor acceleration for what they claim to be a fun to drive car. Much like a Honda Civic more than anything else. Moving on.
A thoroughly major disappointment

I should have not been fooled by the marketing hype. I am 6 foot and about 190 lbs. There is no easy way to be in the MINI. I guess if you are a short European or scrawny American is the only way it will make sense. A real man could never fit into this thing. The dealer kept telling me I would grow to love it. I should have passed. Now I have a Mini that sits in my garage waiting for my 10 year old son to become old enough to drive. Sadly, he will probably be to tall to drive in it as well. Like I said, if you are over 5 foot seven, make sure you will feel like a tuna trapped in a cheap tin can.

Having owned three other BMWs in the past, I eagerly bought one of the first MINIs in the Bay area. Although Beemers tend to be a little fussy, my MINI was a disaster. Rattles everywhere, poor low end torque, windshield wiper did not work well, leaky fuel line, and two engine cutoffs on the highway. The second was the last straw. Luckily, I had bought a couple other BMWs in the past, and they wanted to make me happy, so they refunded all of my money except $500. Bye bye MINI, maybe in a couple years the defects will be worked out.
What a blast

I currently own the MINI Cooper S and an Infiniti G-35. While the G-35 is a gas to drive, the MINI is fantastic. I have never owned anything that is so much fun to drive.
