Mini blast!
The MINI is by far one of the most unique cars available. The interior is like nothing else out there. The design options are endless and you can truly make it your own. I do recommend a manual transmission if you really want to "motor hard" as the display says when you put it in sport mode. I've owned both and the 6 speed takes this pocket rocket to the next level. Test drive one and you'll be hooked. It just looks fun and is fun.

Litttle Car Big Fun
It's a Mini - with all that implies; quirky controls, limited storage, fairly harsh ride, smile-all-day fun especially with top down, very responsive for going, stopping and turning, surprisingly comfortable front seats - even for long distance, great gearbox/shifting, good-to-great gas mileage depending on right foot discipline. A driver's car. Mini's are usually love 'em or hate 'em cars - not much in between.

Not for Everyone- but FUN for Me!
I bought my 2014 MINI Convertible used in 2019 with 79,000 miles. I’ve been driving it for nearly a year and have put about 7,000 miles on it. No issues aside from some weatherstrip peeling up on the passengers window. I use this car primarily for my daily commute- and this car is hands down my favorite thing about my day. I LOVE driving home with the top down on summer nights. Only car I have ever aimlessly driven around just to drive. I have driven it up to 6 consecutive hours and it was a champ. Definitely expect road noise on the highway, but I love how quick I can get up to speed. Comfortable in the front seat. I’ve never had someone ride in the back for very long, but I did not buy the car as a passenger vehicle. If you intend to have more than two people in the car, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Your speedometer won't be even close to accurate
Before you buy, do a search on Mini Cooper + speedometer so you will know inaccurate speedometers are their policy. I asked them to recalibrate my speedometer which is running about 7% high. They refused, quoting an internal bulletin not to repair speedometers that are within 10% of accurate plus another 2.4 miles. I.e., if you and your Garmin know you are driving at 65 mph, your speedometer will not be recalibrated unless it is displays OVER 74 mph. So much for their claim that they fix new cars. I even bought the extra coverage so this "guarantee" would continue for extra years. I would never buy another Mini Cooper. Still talking, but I may have to sue to get my new car fixed.
