It is so much fun to drive. It handles very easily around curves too! I've always wanted one, and are so happy I finally got it!

This is my second Mini S, my first I purchased as soon as they were available in 2002. I've never owned a better car, (since 1964 I've had everything from VW convertibles to a 280SL Mercedes), and I've never been happier with a vehicle. My '05 Mini S convertible is fast, corners well, and looks great. If you want to meet people, this car is a real conversation starter, because a day doesn't go by without someone asking, "How do you like your Mini?" The bottom line? I love it!

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.

This is the most fun I have ever had driving. Motoring in my MINI is a blast and everyone that sees the car and I am in earshot has something to say about it. "How cute is that" is one I hear often. I have upgraded a lot of features in the car but only because I intend to keep it until it dies. It is very small car but that is not a factor for me. Love it. SMC

I am so lucky to be driving a Mini Cooper S for my first car. I bought it last June and it's never going to have another owner. Everytime I drive her, I can't help but smile. The supercharger is fun, and the handling is amazing. I learned to drive on a Buick Park Avenue, so the Mini was a dream. With the back seats down, I can fit my 152cm snowboard. Good cargo space. I autocross with my mini, and it's beyond words. Acceleration is good. The auto-manual is a great option! Also, the winter package, Harmon/Kardon sound system, and sunroof are definitely worth the extra money! The runflat tires that came with her are terrible, though. I recommend replacing them as soon as possible.
