The engine really loosens up after break-in. The car's suspension is very tight, so those that want to feel like they're floating on a cloud may I point you towards a 7-series. Let me ask you something: On gokarts is the ride cushy and bump-free? No. Do you feel connected to the road? Yes. Does driving one put a grin on your face? It darn should! This is a brand new from the ground up car. OF COURSE it's going to have a few issues in it's first production year, which I will gladly forgive. That's what a warranty is for. Note: my Cooper S has been very good to me.
two thumbs up

After putting about 3000 miles on my Cooper S I still love it! However I have had the car in for service about three times, once for steering wheel alighnment, the other times for a weeping coolant resvoir and a leaking water pump. Service at Knauz MINI was great, the only problem was that I was with out my car for two days. Service was nice enough to give me a 3 series BMW for a loaner car.I was surprised to find out that the MINI S was better overall in every catagory over the 3 series BMW. Overall this car is awesome, I highly recommend the space cloth seats.

My Mini has been nothing but trouble, I have had to replace the brakes twice and have stored it for 2 winters and owned it less than 2 yrs. The driver's door went from only opening from the outside to not opening at all. Now the power steering is messed up. The closest dealer is 3 hrs away and no one else will touch it, plus it is expensive to fix. The cup holder is extremely inconvenient, w/ being such a small car they really should move it. When it is working it is fun to drive but I'm afraid to go too far. The heated seats are nice but the driver's gets hot, like burn you hot. Not worth the trouble, money or time. Sure it looks cute but icarumba
Damn fine car.

I love my MINI Cooper S! It looks faboulous, it corners better than any car I have ever driven, and quite frankly it is just a FUN car to drive! I don't think there are many cars on this planet that I would trade it for!
The meek need not apply.

I was initially impressed with the car's design and the amount of room they managed to gleam from such miniscule dimensions. After a short test drive and a long wait while my spec'd MINI was being built, I'm impressed with the handling, ride, and overall driving experience. You really do have to keep the revs up off the line which took a couple of days to adjust to. However, don't even notice that anymore. This car is an incredible blast to drive. The ergonomics are great. Don't understand why so many people complain about the controls. Just adds to the character.
