"Monster"

Monster is the license plate of my 2002 Chili Red Mini Cooper S with black bonnet stripes. It is BMW technology at its best - an affordable, compact car that people from all walks of life desire. The history plays a major roll for this car, yet even if this was its first time around, I believe it would be equally as popular simply because of its perfect engineering and carefree lifestyle that it promotes. Whenever MINI owners pass one anther on the street they most always wave or honk, very unusual in today's world of "iPods."

Fantastic Breaks, interior design is outstanding! Handling on curves is very reliable- no pitch at all. Add DSC and you are set! Standard items,colors are plentiful with an abundance of additional options to customize as individual pleases. Able to track on Mini website when auto was in production until arrival. Fun!

I have read few negative comments. These people really have dumb comments. Many say its unsafe. Of course its unsafe, the car is small! Common sense, if you want a safe car, buy a bigger car. Its a $20000 car. How much performance do you want. It really sounds like people are expecting the car to handle like a porche gt3 or some super tunner. I drive a bmw 328is and race autox dsp. I have the opportunity to test drive both the Cooper S and Cooper, and I feel for the price they are amazing. You try buying any other stock car for 20k and see if it handles this well. Lastly, the engine. Its a small car = small engine!

When I first saw this car I knew it was for me. I'm a total car freak and have spent my life constantly trying to find out all there is to know about all the cars on the road. Finally here was a car with such character!! Just seeing all the little chrome details on the exterior was enough for me. Until this car came along I was afraid I was doomed to a life of all-one-color cars! Thank you BMW!

I'm 6'6" tall and the Mini fits me fine.Plenty of room to shift without my knees hitting the steering wheel. Handles like a go cart. Rides like a 3 series BMW.
