I do no like the CVT, it has have a little hersitation. I also expect better gas mileage in the city with highway 22. It uses only premium gas, which is the most expensive. However, this car is fun to drve, very good ar 70 or 80 miles per hour, very stable, has good pick up and passing ability. I'd give it an eight out of ten.

I have a one hour commute to work that used to be boring - now it's a blast. The gas mileage isn't great (30+/-), especially at premium prices but the fun I have balances that out. One side benefit, most people who see it, smile. When they say it's "cute" i say "no it's understated".

I've owned this vehicle for about two months now. Overall I've had a very satisfying experience. Despite the rising price of gas (and the fact that you fill up with premium) I can't get enough of driving this car. I did have some minor issues with the car, the first was that the door latch on the driver's side did not want to open correctly, a tension issue that was quickly fixed by the dealer. The second was a defective ignitor of one of my xenon headlights, again fixed for me under warranty.

Although it isn't a car I would drive from Washington State to California again, it is an excellent car for commuting and driving around town. So much fun to drive.

The S Cooper is not only fun to drive, it is practicle. Everyone that sees it or has an opportunity to drive one, wants one. We are looking forward to the new Mini Cooper S models coming out. We will probably add a second one to our family next year. When they build a 4 door Cooper S, we will immediately order one.
