The most fun car you will ever own

Wow! This is truly the best handling car I have ever owned (beats 911, 3 series, A4 hands down in the handling dept). Fit and finish are superb.. Has such a fun feel. Feels like a mini F1 car when driving. I suggest special ordering one as there are so many cool options to build the car the exact way you want it. Get the "navagation" pack and "limited slip". Thanks BMW!

Fun car to drive-- can't wait to go drive----larger than you think--faster than most people think with larger engine--gets better the more you drive-- easier to get in and out of than a Z4 or similar sports cars. Most fun I have ever had driving a car.

Great Car For The Money

2005 MINI Cooper 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl 5M)

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.

I am delghted with the car. It is a blast to drive, particularly on the winding country roads near-by. The convertible turns a ton of heads. I have never owned a car that gets so many smiles, waves and inquiries. Overall good build, although some of the plastic in interior seems a little cheap. That being said, when the top is down and the sun is out, I've never had so much fun in a car. One down side...my wife gets a little upset when I get smiles and waves from other ladies.
