16 MPG
I've got 3000 miles on my Mini S convertible and I found out the hard way the marketing in better than the product. I'm getting only 16 mpg, horrible. The exterior styling is great, but the interior is lacking. The cup holders are useless in that they are too close to everything to put other than the smallest cup in it. And that is indicative of the entire vehicle, looks good but doesn't always work and it's usually too small to do the intended job. I thought this would be a great fun car to drive but it seems I'm always driving to the gas station. I had a Toyota before and boy do I miss it.
Zero to Fun in 0.0 Seconds Flat
Wow! This is my first Mini and it wont be my last. Im an engineer so I first look at the data behind the hype, I then have to touch/feel/analyze the product, and finally I take all the data gathered and throw it on the white- board and present it to my peers. The results are still wow! The Mini convertible fits my lifestyle as my PC locks in the trunk, my CDs and IPod lock in the glove box, and my Mini has BLING just like my carbon fiber road bike. Don't buy this car if youre dont want to be noticed as Im amazed at how many strangers walk up and ask me Ive seen those and have wondered what they are like. How do you like it?"

Race car
I have only had my mini convertiable for a week and it is the best car I have ever owned in my life.. this was a 40th birtday present from my husband and he really knows how to get brownie points, when I drive this car I feel like every road is my racetrack, this car corner's on rails, it handles like a dream, it is so much fun to drive, I traded a small suv in for my mini, and i was thought i might feel a little intimated on the road, but it just moves through traffic like a dream.
