I have now had my Mini for 6 months. I live in Ohio and was impressed with how well it handled in snow and ice. I also like that everything I need is at my fingertips ie heat, air, audio, mirrors,convertible,etc. The shifting is as smooth as butter. I had not driven a shift in nearly 15 years, it came right back and was soooooo easy. As far as fun, I can't think of a word that can describe fully how much fun it is to drive. The top goes up and down w/in 10 second with the touch of one button. When you roll all the windows up and the top is down you d on't get too much wind. If you have a long commute, it is not very comfortable, other than that I think it is one great little car!!

I love this car! It is a blast to drive. I wouldn't take it on a long trip, but around town it is great fun. The convertible is really cool. The seats have warmers in them if your sidekick gets cold. The interior is very retro, very cool! Go and test drive one and I guarantee you'll want one. It is a little bit high on the price for the S Convertible, but it is worth the money. If only my wife would let me drive it more! People often will yell at us while we are in the car "Cool Car!". And, it is.

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 have owned four different convertibles starting with a Volkswagen Beetle, followed by a Mazda Miata, a Toyota MR2 Spyder, and now my Mini Cooper. I love, love, love this car and so does everyone that sees it.

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!
