Fun in car form.
This is one of the best cars I have driven. The last car I drove constantly was a Jaguar X-Type Sport and I would still pick the MINI over the Jag. Great classic look and a really fun interior. Handles like a go kart. I do wish that I could have a little more power. I also wish I had bought a sunroof.
Electrical Gremlins
Love the car, hate the electrical bugaboo that has caused it to change abruptly from full on function to stone cold dead. It's up to the dealer at this point to convince me that this can be resolved. I hear they get high marks for service that's customer oriented, so far they have been, but the electrical issue is still there after stranding me the first time. Disappointing because we really like the car, the dealership is trying but I hate the idea of always wondering about electrical issues that are supposedly resolved. We'll see...

Not What You Think
I have about 3000 miles on this car with, thus far, no defects. I bought the car because fo the retro looks, handling, fuel economy, and relatively low price given the abundance of features. I was correct in all these suppositions but greatly underestimated how disagreeable the ride is. Even after abandoning the pathetic runflats for top rated normal performance tires, the ride is jiggly under all conditions but the smoothest roads. Now those of you not bothered by this and there must be many, fine. However, this is by NO MEANS a discounted BMW. BMWs work magic somehow in the first 10 cm of suspension travel, soaking up road inperfectis while keeping phenomenal traction. This is no BMW
Love, Love, Love It!!!
I have wanted one since I saw the Italian Job. I decided to buy one for myself for my Birthday last July. I had to wait 14 weeks for it, but it has definitely been worth it! I got it with the Premium package,the Cold Weather package, Nightfire Red paint and black top/ bonnet stripes. Love the heated seats and mirrors during the cold northern Ohio winter, and have been loving the dual sunroof this Spring/ Summer. I must say, I was a little concerned about the upcoming Winter, but the Mini was a dream to drive in the snow as well. We got hammered a few times last Winter with a foot or more of snow, and the Mini handled the snow better than the Chevy and the Toyota I had owned previously.
Great Car
I absolutely love this car. I got it loaded and it has all the amenities of a luxury automobile along with the sportiness. I was shocked and sold when I sat in one and it was extremely comfortable and roomy. Get a convertible or a sunroof because they operate great. It gets great gas mileage and all maintenance and the entire car (Including paint and body) is guaranteed for five years. I don't have to change the oil or nothing. All i have to do is put gas in it and that isn't very often. What a wonderful car!
