Used 2009 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
Andy's Mini Review
I absolutely love my Mini! It's great fun to drive and I get noticed by people who are obviously jealous because they don't have one. I am 6' 2" tall and I have more headroom in my Mini than many vehicles I have driven. The fuel economy is great! I average 35 - 40 MPG around town. My Mini only has three options (speed control, bonnet stripes and checkerboard mirrors) and it was well worth the $20,000 price tag.
Most fun car I've ever owned
Great car! Let me start by saying that I'm 6'4" 250 and I have plenty of space. Took it on a trip from Detroit Michigan to Naples Flordia 3 months after taking delivery. Averaged 35-MPG for the trip and was comfortable for the 21 hour trip. Turned heads the entire trip and was just a blast to drive. This is my first MINI as well as my first small car and plan to keep it for a long time. Used to lease large SUV's or trucks in the past, but no more. I love my MINI!

Great Little Car
A nice, solid car. Enough power to hold it's own against the big guys. The leather sport seats are very comfortable -- I did an 8 hour trip a couple of weeks ago, and could have easily done another couple of hours that day. Average mileage has been 38 city / 43 highway. I had the same windshield washer issue that JMS mentioned. However I found that the nozzles are adjustable and was able to redirect the spray back to the windshield (as opposed to the roof of the car!)
I love this car
This car has a Nice go cart feel but I think there should be a little more power. The exterior design is probably the worst thing about it, I don't think its bad but most of the people I ask say it looks like a clown car or some weird like that but I like it.
Minnesota Mini
Bought as daily driver. I am not tracking the car so the base model has more than enough power and did not want to deal with the cold start valve clatter or sometimes melting non- functional hood scoop of the "S" model. The money I saved enabled me so by some extras.
