I have wanted a cooper convertiable since it was released. The 2011 seems to have corrected alll of the control complaints I have read about with the 2010 model. I have driven a 2006 s model, and the 2011 ride is much smoother....no comparison. The 6 speed manual is a must, so much fun.

Minis are great sports cars to just enjoy and have fun with, as they are not spacious, comfortable highway cars. I understand they can be expensive to get worked on, but I can only owned it 2 weeks.

This car is a toxic relationship!

Let's start with the good stuff. Car is super fun to drive. Handles magnificently, brakes are excellent and it's indeed a pocket rocket. It feels faster than it actually is but still love the fun this car can provide. Sport mode makes it even better! However, this car is constantly in the shop for repairs. Ignition coils have to be replaced anytime. I have changed multiple hoses, thermostat and spark plugs multiple times. This last time, car was misfiring when I floored it around 4-5k RPM. It came up with poor compression in one cylinder. Most engine internals were replaced to prevent future problems, valve stem seals, and cylinder head repaired. NO solution yet. Car is still misfiring after spending a lot of money. This car has been down almost 5 months per year since I bought it. Periodic repairs and visits to the shop for random problems. If you don't have another car, run away from this vehicle. It's a beauty to drive but comes with a big cost, and I'm not speaking about money only. You will lose your patience, time and money. Most likely, you will forget about it when you drive it again but in my honest opinion, it's not worth it. This car is really annoying. It doesn't matter if you take good care of it, it will still drive you crazy. Imagine if you don't!
