Our yellow and black Mini Cooper is the most fun car I have ever owned. I am 52 years old and I have owned many different cars since I started driving at 15. My wife and I are thinking of buying another Mini so we can each have our own. Great Car!

While I have not owned my used Cooper convertible very long, I've been looking for 3 years. It was babied in the first 44K miles. It's a dream to drive. 5 speed shifts like new, handles better than anything I've owned (38 cars and counting).

When I began searching for a convertible, most models were out of my price range. After looking at the Mini web site, I was able to design my own vehicle, with the options that I wanted, and still remained well within my budget. The handling is precise (15 inch wheels with Pirelli P3000 tires), the automatic transmission flawless, and in all the years of driving, this is the first automatic that I have owned where you cannot feel any up or downshifting. On a recent trip of over 1500 miles, my Mini convertible averaged just over 33 mpg on the highway. I would recommend to anyone interested in a convertible to give the Minis a test drive. There have been no mechanical issues to date.

Low miles does not equal low wear.

Fun to drive, sure. Surprisingly comfortable and quiet for size. Mine has 39,000 miles on it. Paint chips everywhere, scratched glass everywhere. Tires lasted only 30k miles. Just put new ball joints on it. Mechanic surprised I don't need new gaskets and seals yet. Service is expensive. Still I enjoy it so much I will probably get another one in two years.
