Having the car only 2 weeks the car stalled. It did not turn back on. The car went to their service facility with only 800 miles on it already with problems. 3 days later the car is ready to be picked up. The throttle control was broken, faulty, or improperly installed but whatever the case this part was replaced. The car ran fine for another 200 miles and we now have the same problem again. We worry more now with a 1000 mile brand new vehicle then with our old car with 100,000 miles on it.The mechanical issues make me feel very unsecured and unsafe driving this car with a child on the back seat.

I feel as though I need to add another review - Now broken in, it is a very different car. I feely free to hit the red-line and enjoy the performance. I really don't think the car needs more h.p. anymore - The car is great! I do recommend however getting the 16" wheels. The 15's are sloppy in hard cornering. The only complaint I now have is the rain gutter - it's made of plastic and has snapped off. I'm still happy :-) - how some aren't is beyond me...

Wow, what a fun car! I've had my MINI Cooper for about a month now and I couldn't be happier. The handling is extraordinary, the performace excellent, it's absolutely gorgeous inside and out and it's the most comfortable car I've ever driven. Those that complain about lack of horsepower should learn to drive - with proper technique this car goes like a bat out of Hell! But where it really shines is in the twisties - no car can match the Cooper's handling through corners at speed. What more can I say... I love it!

I picked this car up on Friday the 22nd. And as expected, it was makred up by the dealer over 20%, and they still tried to make tou feel like they were doing you a favor by letting you buy one of their cars. I had been on the list to buy one since May of last year. Took over 7 hours to get out of there. And when that time came, they didn't even bother to clean the car, just handed me the keys, and sent me on my way, without ever even letting me test drive a single one.
