Used 2002 MINI Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Happy with MC; now trading up to MCS
No problems after 8000 miles. 16" runflat tires make for rough ride over MA potholes, but fun and looks compensate.
Fun to drive!!!!!
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.

"uncle"
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.
Magic car
This is the best car I've had the pleasure to own and the most fun to drive. I'm 6'0" and have plenty of room. The seats and wheel can be adjusted to fit anyone. A friend of mine who is 6'5" even found a comfortable seating position with plenty of headroom. The performance and handling is super. I find myself searching out the longest, twistiest route to my destination. Doesn't feel like a small car at all when you are on the road, only when it's time to park. Highly recommended.
A very nice SECOND car.
Number one would be the extraordinarily high dealer maintenance costs! They are about the same across the board as a very high level BMW. Great handling, but with the basic set-up, very poor acceleration. Very easy to park.
