Mini Magic!
Corners like a cat, brakes on a dime, and leaves people in the dust at stoplights!!
Love it, but not the maintenance expense
I love my MINI, it's quick, responsive and fun to drive. But I've had to replace one run-flat tire for every year I've owned it - 200-500/tire. Add that to the three times I've had to replace parts for the window, the consistent rattling noises, and a guy wire in the door that pops off so I can't easily open the driver side door - I've spent more money on my Mini in the past four years than I ever did on my first car - a Honda Civic SI. You WILL be paying BMW prices for labor and parts. The allure of the initial price tag of the Mini (substantially lower than a BMW) is overshadowed by the maintenence costs - with alll the electrical problems of a BMW to boot.

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!
