Used 2015 MINI Cooper Consumer Reviews
MINI Owner
This is my first car. I bought the 2015 MINI S 4 door with 17in wheels and it is AWESOME. I really enjoy this car, its gets be from point A to point B in a fun, quick and safe. When looking for my first car, I wanted something that was safe, reliable, great on gas, great resale value(even now I wonder why I would ever sale this car). The first time I test drove this car I was hooked, because it is so much fun to drive, I look for curves in the road and hills and valleys, its just fun and even though it is a MINI it has more space then you would think and more room then one would expect. One of my favorite things is that MINI gave creative thought to the small things like where the gas tank is located, the way your MINI will wink at you when you get in, the heartbeat of the car, mood lighting etc. Even though it has all these fun things the car is crazy safe, like the gas tank cut off if you are in an accident to keep from fire, the 8 air bags and so many other things. I would highly recommend this car to anyone because it's more than just cute and fun but safe and reliable.

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.

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.

It is what it is...
I have the 2015 MINI Cooper Convertible, automatic. When my 2 oldest kids moved out and my youngest started driving on his own we figured we did not need 2 full sized SUV's with third row seats anymore. But I would never drive one of those lame cheap cars like a fiat, smartcar or a spark. I also did not want some boring sedan. I am very picky. I honestly figured I would end up with yet another mustang or something to that effect. We came across the MINI sort of by accident. My husband pointed it out and I said no b/c I did not want a convertible or an automatic transmission ... plus my husband is 6' 1", 240 lbs and broad shouldered so i figured he would not fit in it because he did not fit in my Nissan sport coupe comfortably. but my husband said it "suited me" because it had a cheeky custom paint job and he talked me into a test drive. We were both super surprised by the TARDIS tech built into the thing. He fit very comfortably and the seat went back like 8 inches further than he even needed it to and there was a good 6 inches of head room. In the end It was purchased because it gets great gas mileage and it was pretty cheap and the car insurance on it was surprisingly much less than most cars. The funny thing is we bought it because it was practical but it is actually super fun. The handling is great, I was really surprised at that. It is pretty decent off the line and fun to drive. It gets great gas mileage and I do really like it. I get compliments all the time. It is perfect for running small errands in the city or heading to dinner etc. My son is 6' tall and I have had him and one of his friends in the back for short trips with no complaints. You can fit several bags of groceries in the trunk with no problem. It does have a few draw backs. 1. The visibility with the top up is horrible... like to the point that it is a bit scary sometimes. 2. It's well ... mini. We get away with it b/c we have the full size SUV as well. I do not see how this could be your only car. There is no way you could make a trip to Sams Club even for a few things. The trunk opening is just too small. I don't even see how we could take it on a road trip. Any more than weekender bags would not even fit in the trunk. 3. It's loud. This does not bother me but it is much louder than any other car I have had. 4. Things are in strange places. IE: you can't roll the windows up or unlock the door if there is a drink in the cup holder because the toggle switches for both of these are in the center of the car behind the gear shift and the drink holders. It makes no sense. 5. You cant lock the car unless you are all the way out of it and all the doors are already shut. This doesn't sound like a big deal but If you have to keep your keys out it is really hard to even grab a bag of McD's and your drink and shut the door. I have never seen this in another vehicle. All in all it's a fun car to drive with a bit of an attitude. It seems well built, we have not had any problems and I do like it!
