Used 2005 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
MINI Mania
Without a doubt the most fun car I have ever driven. It still brings a smile to my face whenever I open the garage on my way to work in the morning. The one-button convertible top operation, which opens and closed the windows as well as the top is an engineering feat.
It's the Bomb!
Great on the inside, and on the outside. You are ensured to turn heads! Every detail is fun, the "S" has the "zoom, zoom" that the regular version lacks. It is well worth the extra money

Fun things in small packages.
This car has been great fun and I get plenty of looks! It is easy to drive and easy on the gas. It's relatively quiet, for a convertible, and grips the road when it corners. The ride is a bit rough but it's worth it. The electric sun roof/top are fast and easy to operate.

I call it Lucille, it's a ball to drive
Had an original Mini in 1968. Ordered a new 2002 as soon as deposites were taken. Had the second all yellow one in South Florida. The dealer had the first. Put 23,500 mile on in and traded it in on a 2005 MINI Cooper S convertable. The perfect car for South Florida. Go topless most of the time. Fast enough to avoid most rain drops and getting too wet inside.
