The MINI is a fun, comfortable, safe vehicle to drive. I bought mine as a surprise 50th birthday present for my wife. I can't get it away from her. Next time we need to replace a second car, it's a MINI for dad.

The best small car in the U.S.!

The MINI for me is the only car that truly excells in the categories of Style, Performance, Fun to drive, and practicality. It's great on fuel economy (29mpg avg. Cooper S manual), comes with three years of free maintenance (even covers brakes), has go kart performance, and is able to fit all of the people and cargo that I ever need. There's nothing negative I can say about the vehicle. It does everything I ask it to do above and beyond the call of duty. Why would you consider any other small vehicle?

I purchased the Cooper model with std. 15" wheel and suspension for the better ride. Added sport seats, computer, and multi-function wheel with cruise. The dealer through in floor mats, a useful cupholder and bonnot stripes. This chili red and white sporty car is the most fun car I have ever owned. I also looked at Scions, but when loaded with the basics that the mini had, the Scions were going to be as much as my mini ($18,200.00) and not as much fun to drive. This car is a blast. I mounted 3 sets of 5 point racing seats belts in the back seat, so our three sons can share in the fun.

I've been driving for 40 years and have never fallen in love with a vehicle, til now. The car's a head turner and prompts impromptu conversations with strangers all the time. I simply love the car.

Great Car For The Money

The Mini Cooper is the best value for the most car on the market. We chose the basic model, since the prospect of two 50-year-old women going 140 miles per hour in Boca Raton, Fl, seemed a wee bit silly. What we found was a car with all the safety features of BMW and a length to width ratio that makes the car stick to the road like a fly to a glue strip. Then there is the great gas milage, exceptional sound system, stylish good looks and a real backseat. We are in heaven. I highly recommended this car for anyone who wants a sporty convertible for safe, fun, "normal" driving. If you want to race, go spend four-to-five times the money.
