So far, so good

I bought my MINI Cooper in March 2006. I placed the order in January but had to wait a couple of months to get my car. I don't drive very much so I only have about 3,500 miles on it so far. At first, the gas mileage seemed low, but now that everything is broken in it's great. I average over 40 mpg on the highway and about 30 or so combined city/hwy. I am also fairly small so I am quite comfortable. The handling is great. Even though it's "only" a base Cooper I still have plenty of passing power and zip when I need it. It's really a great little car. This car is easy to drive, easy to park.

Safety At it’s Best

I got into a front collision with another vehicle t-bones into the side of a larger American Sedan. The Mini Cooper airbags deployed as planned and my seat belt held me in my seat for impact. Total my front end but I managed to walk away with bruises on chest and hand. The safety features of the car saved my life!

Awesome Car!

The MINI Cooper is an awesome car. I have driven 8,500 miles in mine and I have averaged 32.2 mpg with mostly in town driving. The power is good especially between 50 and 80 mph (I know that surprised me as well). The fit and finish are perfect. I'm very picky and I've owned this car for 6 months. I have yet to find a SINGLE defect in the car. I got the Premium and Sport packages. I will absolutely buy another MINI product. They're phenomenal quality and "Oh My GOD" fun to drive! This car is a go cart!

Sports Car Moves in Retro Style Package

We bought the MINI because it looks great. We love the MINI because it is a sportscar in hatchback clothing. This little car begs to be driven. You'll find yourself searching out winding roads to go blasting down. It is a real treat. If you are on the fence about this car, spend some test drive time driving on a twisty 2 lane road and you will be signing your order immediately. After an hour you will feel like you have been driving this car for years. All the moves on the road inspire confidence. It has plenty of room up front for someone 6'4", however there will be no backseat room behind someone of this height.

Excellent

The Mini is an excellent car, it handles great especially on curves. I have only had it for about two months now and have absolutely fallen in love with it. The interior design is wonderful, everything is very accessible and the inside is surprisingly roomy. It rides very smoothly and will get up and go, you have to be careful because your speed will get away from you. I highly recommend this car.
