I have had mine for 5 yrs. Just made my first repair tonight for $131. I kept up my maintenence and it's paid off. No problems what-so-ever. I have had 2 wear & tear replacements that I would consider normal. New brakes put on last year (bought them from online site & had local mechanic put on for much less than dealer) and am on my 3rd set of run-flat tires, also purchased from online site. Shipped to my house and put on at mechanics shop. At 107,000 miles, several friends are in a bidding war to buy mine when I upgrade in about a year. How many cars have that kind of draw? Everytime I think I will go back to a regular car, I drive a regular car and go running back to my MINI!
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.

My Mini is Indi Racing Blue with white wheels white roof, white bonnet stripes, with siding on the inside, and blue leather seats. Super quick for it's 1.6 litre. Turn the key in the ignition and it roars to life. Real head turner.
I Love my MINI

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!
Looks, hype, and lack of substance

Fun to drive car, though there is NO torque below 3k RPM. Controls are too heavy, ride quality is VERY harsh. Interior too plasticy (vinyl seats in a $22K car?!?). Uneven gaps in body panels look bad. Unpainted plastic on body looks cheap. Stereo isn't very good. Brazilian made Chrysler engine is disappointing, (yes, even in the S model). To top it off, the dealer is STILL trying to rape their customers.
