I love my car. I have never said these words before in my life. My Mini is a fun car that makes me smile whenever i drive it and also makes people on the street smile whenever they look at it. I will keep this car forever. It is the kind of car that you want to have even if you get another car! I cannot say enough good things about it!

It's a love/hate relationship

Since I bought the car in Nov I've had to make the trip to the dealer four times. They had to replace the hood latch, headlights, seatbelt and power steering pump. When the power steering pump started to go it made this tremendously loud noise. So loud I'd have to turn off my car in the bank drive thru. It's on its way into the shop this week actually to have the front end looked at. The tires were so incredibly expensive that I had to go out and buy run of the mill tires just to make it through this winter.

My mini cooper s has been the most fun to drive of all my cars. I had a 328I BMW and loved it. This little car is better. It hugs the road, corners on a dime and likes to go bery fast. I love the concept of sun roof and convertible in one car. You can always ride with the top down.

I love the s-model, ive owned it a year and have never had any problems, it is good on gas, quick in traffic, i always get compliments on it, but the interior design stinks, seating is not to comftorable, but overall this car is very quick from point a-b, and it has been very reliable, services are pricey though, If your looking for a small hatchback thats quick and good looking get the Mini cooper, another Good one is a 2006+ Gti, looks better, alot smoother and interior design is way better, not to mention its good on gas and very comfy, but overall mini is king.
