I was in the market for a new car when its stylish looks caught my eye. 2 minutes into the test drive and I knew I had to have a Cooper S that day. No car I have ever driven is tighter around a turn. Better acceleration than I expected from a small car. Comfortable (LOVE those heated seats). Seats hug you when accelerating around a bend. Plenty of front seat room. Engine purrs. Brakes great. Can't drive it enough... Wish I had a longer commute to work. Go with the S version. Worth it. Fun!!!

Bought my '03 S used last year with only 25k miles. Runs and looks like new. Great paint job (British racing green). Gets lots of looks wherever I go. My daughter wants me to keep it for her (10 years until she drives thank goodness). Two friends have one as well and we have all been happy with them. Lots of local owner clubs around metro areas too. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a truly enjoyable car to drive. I look forward to going fo a spin every time. Resale value is at the top of all vehicles made today. Good gas mileage too.

I bought this car on a lark, but haven't been disappointed. It's great fun to drive and the attention is just a bonus. It's BMW heritage comes shining through.

Mini Makes Sense

Experience with the dealer and the car are perfect. Both lived up to their marketing promises and maintain a high standard you would expect from some Asian competitors. No gouging by the dealer and the car runs and performs flawlessly. I use the it to commute and it makes the drive interesting and more economical. Look at the Mini before you buy a domestic economy or Asian econo car. The other reviews here covered the fun part and I certainly agree with them.

Never have I driven a car as fun as the Cooper S. Once you get up to 2000 rpm, its like riding on a guided missle. People that say the ride is too harsh are probably just road haters, who should give it all up and take the bus.
