BMW feel all around Quality

If you want a high-end car for a fraction of the price this car is for you. My 09 Cooper is loaded. The car handles better than a go Kart. It's a true sports car with a touch of class. The S makes it move quick and the manual trans. gives you the controll you beg for. You can't go wrong with these vehicles. This is my Second Mini and I just can't get over the QUALITY that is put into these vehicles. They say the S does 138 @ top speed. I've come closs on a couple of occations and the car handled perfect.

It's a fun car to drive. Bought it for our daughter and she loves it. Drove it 1/2 way across country to her and it was not so comfortable for these old bones. Got great gas mileage.

Top Tier Gasolines

I recommend that before you purchase a Mini you have access to top tier premium gas stations, such as Chevron and QT. If you live out in the countryside, as I do, be aware that using other than above mentioned gas will destroy your fuel pump system. Premium quality gasoline does not mean top tier...there's a mixture in other stations that may destroy your engine. Neither the Mini Cooper website nor the Consumer's Report website made any mention at all about this extremely important concern. I was able to find a station within a 30 mile round trip from my home. Again, think this out very well before you consider purchasing a Cooper!
