2011 MINI Cooper 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
this was literally my dream car: ice-blue Cooper convertible. It was a fine car UNTIL IT WASN'T. Just hit 90k miles and out of nowhere, without any warning lights or sounds, I heard a POP! Thought maybe I'd run over a soda can so imagine my surprise when I as I was walking around looking underneath my car I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The car had oil, the car had … water, but according to the mechanic, head gasket blew. Engine destroyed. So now I have a choice to make: have it towed back home and go w./out a car for the next 5 months while I save money for a new engine or save that money to buy something else ... oh, did I mention I still have 5 car payments left??? No warning, nothing I did wrong ... but my dream car has become an absolute nightmare.
Dream come true

2011 MINI Cooper 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
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.
Just a fun car to drive.

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.
