I've only had the car for a couple of days but so far it's the best car I have ever driven. It's so much fun to drive! The attention to detail is incredible and it only took two times driving the car to learn most of the features. I can't wait to learn even more.

2015 MINI Cooper 2dr Convertible (1.6L 4cyl 6M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
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!

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.

I did my homework and found a fully loaded MCS w/ 23,000 miles at a Volvo dealership. My negotiations brought the price down and it’s in like new shape and truly fun to drive, and especially easy to park. I’ve had BMWs and Subarus in the past, liked them all, but the Mini is the right car for me at this advanced age. Shop carefully, find a low mileage basic or S model, and you’ll enjoy it too! It’s now 2 years later. Other than two engine mount replacements $900, and routine maintenance it’s still the great car built in 2016. I’m getting older and the day will come when it’s too low to get in and out of, but not today…

Read owners manual, this is a high compression engine and should only get 93 octane fuel. Preferably without 10% alcohol. Mine gets 3-5 better mpg without alcohol. As far as hesitation, power loss, use a high grade DETERGENT fuel injection cleaner like Lucas. Those cheap brand names are just a solvent that dissolves solids in your gas tank and they move up to your injectors. ( I bought a cheap 07 MINI because it was running rough, after 2 tanks with Lucas in it it runs like new!) I would run it in 2 consecutive tanks of gas, then 2-4 times a year depending on more or less than 12k per year.
