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.

I bought this as a barely used Mini with 17000 miles only has 38000 now. Love it! Has a lot of power, I never get left in the dust. Wonderful gas mileage and is a noticeably pretty car. It is surprisingly roomy. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a great car.

The point of view of this review is from a long time BMW MINI owner who, up until now, loved them. It probably isn't relevant to those who haven't previously had a MINI. Back in the '60, Ford had a great, innovative car that was very popular. Each new version of it became bigger and bigger and sought to reach a wider market. Eventually, it became a parody of itself, becoming virtually a 2 door family sedan. Fortunately, Ford saw the light and the car has returned (sort of) to its roots. I am referring to the Mustang. Well, it seems BMW is following that same sorry route with the MINI. What was the attraction of the BWM MINI? It's SMALL size, its uniqueness, its fun to drive-ness. As one local reviewer (in Maryland) wrote, driving a MINI was therapy. So, what has happened. To address the "negatives" appearing in professional reviews, which value every car against some homogeneous (with the exception, perhaps, of exotics and rockets), BMW is turning the MINI into just another compact car. They have tried to make up for this by adding high-tech gimmickry, like color-changing LEDs and artificial sound effects, which serve only to make a cartoon out of the car. The car has gotten huge compared to the previous MINIs. If you are buying this car for rear seat room and a living room on wheels ride, you are in the wrong place. The 2015/2016 MINI hardtops are almost indistinguishable from the Countryman, both viewed from the outside and when sitting inside. This isn't because the Countryman is tiny. On the technical side, one could say everything is "improved" except for the 3 cylinder engine in the base model. While it is surprisingly peppy, it is noisy and rough-idling. Yes, there are now many MINIs on the road. So, from BMW's perspective, they are on the right path. But, if you are a Miniac for the initial BMW MINI offerings, you will most likely not be happy driving this one. Let's hope BMW, like Ford, will come to its senses. Eventually, Mr./Ms. average driver will tire of the cramped size, the "hard" ride and the "weird" stuff that might still remain and those who remember what a MINI was will return. In the meantime, I'll probably be in a Miata or a GTI. UPDATE: I no longer have a MINI. I test drove a 219 Countryman S and Cooper S. The quality is definitely up considerably. The ride is quieter and smoother. BUT, they just aren't MINIs anymore. While there is still some unique and fun features, the prices are getting too high. A fully equipped Countryman S at $44,000.

I love the car it is fun to drive quick and nimble and I happen to think it's cute too! But it's not the cheapest compact you can buy and the quality for the price really is not there. I wish that they would put as much pride and quality into the car as it desearves.

Fun to drive, plenty of room except for the back seat. I’m 6’3” both front seats have good legroom. Fold down back seats make it easy to load a wheel chair through the hatch.
