This car is so much fun to drive, rivaling other imports I've had. It has plenty of power to render confidence in passing and on ramp approach, corners on a dime, and has awesome gas milage without performance trade-off. However, I've experienced way too many costly repairs ie. engine wire harness, intake valve module, cooling fan module, power steering pump etc. It's time to cut my losses. Regretable, I scream uncle.

This is a head-turning car, SO fun to drive. Great handling, feels really solid on curves, smooth acceleration, and a ride that is much quieter than you would think for such a small car. Lots of power for my needs, and besides, if you want an S, looks like you'll be on a long wait list and miss the fun of driving!

I can't think of another car I could want after having a MINI; however, especially for the first two years, I can't think of another car that could have given me so much trouble. I'll chalk it up to having bought the first model year. The mpg is poor and not nearly as high as represented. Still, it's a good city car, fun to drive and easy to park. Service at my dealer is superb. Surprisingly, with the backseats down, it can transport quite a lot of cargo.

If you want a small sporty car with pizzaz, get one! The fit and finish is just about perfect. I used to work at the factory where they are made. They must have changed a lot of things, because the MG's we turned out were crap in comparison> Ron

I have had my Indi Blue Cooper for almost a month and its a superb vehicle. I consider it a sports car. Excellent handling, braking and visibility. Fantastic ride even with the optional 17inch BBS style wheels. GO GET ONE.
