I should have my head examined

I bought this car instead of a miata because I thought I need 4 seats. WHAT WAS I THINKING? What a joke vehicle. It leaks oil, it shudders on acceleration. It's unreliable. People will tell you it's the ride man, the ride, but the ride doesn't make up for all the repair bills, or lack of body integrity. It's cute, but it is a lemon.
Never again

After seeing the reviews I was very excited to purchase my Mini....I don't think I have ever regretted something more in my life. I don't know why this car is rated so highly. This car has given me nothing but problems. And no one wants to work on it. All the auto shops don't want to work on it. And when I found one that would he told me mini's have problems all the time. That the check engine lights always come on and always have oil problems. The only good thing is that it is cute and gets good gas mileage. Other then that I really have nothing good to say about this car. After mine gets out of the shop I am selling it immediately.

I Love my MINI

2003 MINI Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl S/C 6M)

I bought my Cooper S to use as a daily driver and to provide some fun driving experiences on the weekends. So far it's fulfilled those duties perfectly. The build quality is excellent and its filled with lots of standard features. I didn't add a lot of extra options to mine, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything. The car has surpassed my expectations. Its a blast to drive, its got a surprising amount of room inside, its nimble in traffic and fairly comfortable on long interstate drives. I love my MINI!

I can sum up my mini cooper S with three phrases, Fun, Quality and Good Value. BMW did not hold back from giving the mini the technology and design it does for it's big boys (700 series) This car is fun to drive everyday. I never imagined thought that I would get so much attention from other folks. Hence the styling success. For the first 6 months of ownership I would at least 1 person if not 3 people stop me to chat about my mini cooper S. I look forward to many years of motoring pleasure.
Who are these people?

I`m very pleased with the car overall.At times, I have to explain my decision to buy it,though.I have driven nearly all the recent BMW models and own a 325is.This car pulls like a miniature 540i and handles like a go- kart.It`s so responsive,that it makes my 325 feel like a stationwagon.I can see anger at service probs but who are these folks who buy one but bash the looks and the handling.Why buy it if you don`t like it.The perf. runflats are harsh over bumps but on smooth roads,life is great.I`m 6`1``and my 4 and 8 year old are cramped behind me,but they always want to ride in it anyway.Kids point,adults smile,everyone`s happy.
