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!
Anybody want to buy a used MINI!

"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.

Having driven my MINI CVT (Automatic) for 5,000 miles, I have mixed feelings. When operating properly the most fun I've had in a car. But, and this is a big but, car has intermitent issues, ie. stalling, idle variances and lack of power. These issues are sporadic, which makes it difficult to feel safe. Service does what it can, yet issues keep coming up again. Car has been in 6 times with almost 30 days in service. I suggest waiting for the 2003 model and avoiding the CVT. Hopefully the 2003 S will have worked all the bugs out. Also, order the car, shop around as many dealers add up to $3000 in mandatory accessories above MSRP!
Fun to drive

The car is absolute fun to drive. Although straight line accelaration is acceptable, switching lanes and driving winding roads can't be much more fun then with this car. For daily commute the horsepower is more then adequate. But handling comes with a prize, dents and other road shortcomings are well fed back to the driver, although in a acceptable manner. Fuel consumption is average. If you do your best low fuel consumption is feasible, but the car invites you to a more robust driving style, hence a relatively high fuel comsumption for a1.6 L engine.
What was I thinking?

I should have just bought a BMW instead of compromising with a Mini. I think I was deceived into thinking the Mini was simple a small version of a BMW 3 series. It is not. Do not get fooled as the novelty wears off quicker than any other car I have owned.
