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.

I bought this car at a very young age with the help of my father. I have always been in love with small, quirky, European cars like the mini and VG bugs. When the time came to get a car I found this beautiful red Mini Cooper S Hardtop with white racing stripes and I was so happy with it, for 2 days. Within one week of owning it, I put about $600 in basic repairs, that was only the beginning. I quickly noticed engine lights going out and transition failures. 6 months into it I had already put over 2000 dollars into it, not counting the 5k I put into it plus TTL and other essentials.I got into my car everyday expecting some sort of light to pop on, which is definitely not something anyone should be worried about. All was ok for a few months until late January when my car stopped accelerating on the middle of the highway. I pulled over, had it towed and looked at the next day, the engine stopped compressing to the cylenders. That meant i was out of a car and 4k if i bought another turbo european engine (which are not easy to find anymore because this happens too frequently for American mechanics/sellers to keep up with). I don't come from money, i work for everything that i get,m so spending all this money at such a young age with such a low income job had/ and has a really big toll on my life. Point is, i know its a cute car and i loved driving it dearly, but unless you have thousands of dollars on hand and are willing to make constant repairs and all that then please PLEASE don't buy this car.

The poor mans Porsche turns ugly as early problems (Turbo out - fixed under warranty) foreshadow a mixed future. At a mere 55k miles all hell breaks loose. They've got a winner IF they can ever fix reliability. Perhaps 2009 was a fluke? better do your research I decided to sell mine early for a LOSS!!!

I got my Mini with Cash for Clunkers deal. Great value for the money. I have the extended warrantee and the fuel pump had to be replaced at 5000 miles. :( I wasn't happy but the service was good and everything else has been great. Love the pepper white with black top and bonnet stripes--SHARP. Handles great, very fast, mileage good, excellent for running around town for errands, taxiing kids etc.
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.
