Fun Car with some minor quirks

Traded my BMW 325is for a Mini and I'm loving it! Similar to the BMW, the handling is great and its fun to drive. Takes sharp turns very well. Since I live in a city that requires plenty of parallel parking, finding parking is amazing. I get compliments on my Mini from everyone. Bucket seats are comfortable. The headrest is larger than any other car brand; I noticed this because I'm short (5'2'') and had to remove them to look behind me, even with the seat pumped to its highest. Never encountered this problem with other cars (including SUVs).

Great First Car

First off I would like to say that i crashed the car and ended up on my side. Going way to fast on snow/ice. My friend was in the car and were being young drivers. I was taking a 90 degree corner at about 25 on ice and snow and went off the road. I pulled the ebrake to swerve from a telephone pole and hit a bolder. It sent us up and back down on its side. The airbags did not deploy, but there was a recall that i never got around to. Both my friend and I got out with a few scratches. This car protected me and my frend. I will give it respect where its due.

Just buy one!

I have owned many cars, from two seater roadsters to luxury sedans and I have to say the Mini tops them all. Excellent build quality, reliable, great gas mileage and pure driving excitement. I traded in my two year old Mercedes Benz for the Mini and I haven't regretted it a bit! If you have been thinking about getting a Mini, do yourself a favor, test drive one and you will be sold.

Great Car

I'm hooked. Even my daughter that wanted me to get a Saturn Sky is glad to have this car. It is true what people say, it really does handle like a go-cart. Super responsive and I just hit 1200 miles with a life to date MPG of 35.9. Power and handling are the most obvious features of this car. I will own a MINI from now on.
