For a first year of production vehicle, my Mini has been almost trouble-free. It's a bargain to boot. It is very well designed and constructed. This car is so much fun one should be issued at birth.

My transmission and clutch went out on my car at nearly 68,000 miles. I had to spend $4,000 to have them replaced. I learned how to drive a car with a manual transmission so the problem isn't me riding the clutchor abusing the car. This car is junk. I'd NEVER tell anybody to buy one again!

I've got about 2,000 miles on mine now - I have nothing but praise. Hi-way driving for extended trips is not what this car is about - but boy the daily commute is fantastic! I sold my Mustang Cobra for this little guy - no regrets! I'm now going back for an "S" - my wife equally excited. How great!

I have owned three Beemers in the last 10 years and thought the MINI would be a fun addition to my collection. What is disaster. BigJames does not need this mess. The car looks stupid just a few days after you bring it home. BigJames's only good thing to say is that he should be able to unload it with minimal depreciation since it is so hot right now.

"Blah". That is my only opinion of this "car". You might as well buy a moped. At least you would then feel safe. I feel like I am driving a cheap Korean car in this MINI. Hey, at least I can sell it to some other unsusoecting college student. BMW should be ashamed of themselves.
