Enjoyable Ride
This is a great little car, it has speed, maneuverability,and is comfortable! I drive 3 hrs a day one way to work, and the gas mileage is 40 to 42! I find that Shell gas works the best, any other and the mileage fall to 38. Bluetooth works well and be sure to get the better radio. All in all, a good choice.
THE best small car for your $
I recently found myself in the market for a new car. Since I knew I wanted a car made by BMW but only wanted to spend about $30k the choice was pretty obvious. I didn't realize it would be so obvious that this car was made by BMW. The Mini Cooper S is so fun to drive you may, as I did, have to adjust to having a car that handles so well, an engine that is just so eager to jump at being driven hard, and still manage to get around 30 mpg in the process.

So Glad to Not Have It Anymore!
We loved it at first, the handling the materials, the BOSE sound, great mileage, superb handling! However, Waterpump broke at 48K ($700), and the engine runs very ruff , so loud, clanking- I think its known timing chain issue. Transmission started make lound noises when shifting and we are just over 50K.... Also, the inside plastic makes so much noise on rough roads, it's very annoying. The AUX input does not work very well. We traded it in and very happy with our new VW!

Smile on your face
This car was fantastic. Great for trips or to work. Make sure you watch your fluids as they can drain faster since it’s turbocharged. Gas mileage is great.

Run from Mini Coopers
I have a 2010 Mini Cooper S with just at 80,000 miles. I just had into to Cincinnati Mini where I have been told it needs a new timing chain, new oil pump filter assembly, intake vanos, and hoses, all for a price of $8,000. Apparently excessive wear of the timing chain is typical for this model of Mini and Mini Corporate will do nothing to fix the issue. While the cuteness and thought of go-kart like driving is enticing, the repair bills, lack of customer appreciation and service is not. Run from whatever Mini you are looking at.
