The Zip-ster
I have had my 2003 Mini Cooper-S for six months now. I find myself volunteering for any errand, whether at home or work. I am parking in placing I did not know existed, and I get so many smiles, winks and appreciative nods while cruising in town. I have a new style of driving called "Zipping", where I zip in and out of traffic, especially on the freewyas. I even had a Georgia State Patrolman give me a thumbs up and a smile when I passed him on the freeway last week!

The car is fun and great to drive. But it broke down, died, twice. The first time something was loose and the car would not start after I turned it off to get gas. I had to get towed. The second time, about one month later, the cooling fan would not go off, it drained the battery and the car was stuck in my garage, had to be towed again. Last time we didnt have the car for five days, now its been two days so far. I dont know if this car is a lemon or if it happens to all Minis.

Fun...No I mean really fun!
A long wait well worth it. The most fun I have had in a car sense drinking and driving became bad form....handles great and well made. Lot's of look/thumbs up too.
bad buy, got hook on the hype
VERY CHEASY, too much for the price, so you sacrifice quality, its only time before things start breaking, and falling apart
What can go wrong, DID - Murphy's Law
Pickup our Cooper S PS/W this April. You know all those problems that MINI owners gripe about on forums? Well, almost all of that happened to us. Let's see yoyo/surging/ stalling, new transmission, windshield changed, paint blotches and uneven, oh, and the rattles! OH MY GOD, the RATTLES! If this is what they describe as spirited driving count me out!
