Get over the size. Yeah ,so its small.BFD--thats what makes 'er rock--- but 6 airbags ,alphabet soup brakes systems and a 4star crash rating help to alleviate safety concerns for the Ralph Naders(I heard she didnt get a 5star because the front bumper was too stiff if you hit a pedestrian!). Nimble, surprises others in traffic, constantly get asked about her.FAST. I sold an Audi TT 180 Quattro Coupe to go MINI. This is more fun and I dont feel guilty about the cost compared to the TT.

Great to Drive; Not the Best Build quality

I love the car for its looks, performance and drivability. It drives like a go-cart. It has enough space for my two children in the back as well. This is one of the reasons that I purchased the vehicle. Though built by BMW, there is much to be said about build quality. BMW should be careful not to bring down its reputation with Mini's poor quality. The sunroof in my car has had to be repaired/replaced a couple of times but the rattles continue. I have been experiencing other rattles in other parts of the car.. I am not the only one with this problem. I even met another person at the same dealership with the same problems. BMW of Canada cannot fix these problems. They do try very hard to fix them, however. I give them kudos for effort.

Just What I had Expected

Generally, I selected the MINI beacuse it looks great and was a lot of fun to drive when I took it for a test. Overall, I have been pretty happy with it. It handles very well (actually better than any other car that I have ever driven). It is pretty fast too, but not off of the line. You need to get the engine revving a bit before you feel any substantial power. Once it gets going, it is really a nice package to drive. I have been really pleased with the car so far. Be prepared to have a lot of people ask you questions in parking lots and at stop lights. This car attracts a lot of attention.
