Just bought this MCS yesterday for my wife and it's a blast! Like eveeryone says...it has a very high 'Fun Factor'; lots of extras i.e. puddle lights in the doors; headlights wash themselves, etc,etc. I'm 6'4" and I have plenty of leg room & head room. May trade in my MB E320 for one of these '05 MCS. Here's a test - try pushing the MCS from the side. It doesn't move,hence... max. stability !!! Incredible machine

This car is fun to drive and own. Trying to keep it within the speed limit is difficult. I purchased a radar detector before I filled the tank for the first time. The only downside was getting the run-flat tire repaired after I picked up a nail on the street.

Our Mini has been a wonderful car. It fits everything that we need to put in it. It is FUN to drive, and we get alot of comments from people who want to know how we like it. Even though we live 125 miles away from the dealer, it is not a problem because the Mini only needs to be serviced once a year Many of our friends and relatives have driven the car and all of them love it. There is alot of room in the front seats. Following the production of car on the internet was great fun.

I had initial doubts about my wife's choice of the Cooper S but I am happy to report that these were unfounded. This car handles like a dream, has plenty of power and is the coolest thing on 4 wheels. If you're looking for a performance compact and want to avoid the bland design of most of the compettion, then the Cooper S is a great choice.

I love my little car, i am 70 years old and I feel very confortable driven my mini, the power is more than enoug, already drive to Tampa at 70 and 80 miles per hour and run beautifull, stability is great and brake excelent, I just trade a BMW 330 convertible and i have more fun with my mini, every body look at the car and ask question. I wish if can running with regular gas but they recomended high grade that is expensive.
