Used 2018 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Consumer Reviews
I love my Mini! :)
I bought my 2017 Mini Cooper 2-Door Hardtop off a lease last year (in Summer 2020) with 38k miles. So far, she has been an absolute pleasure; the reviewer who said this is the kind of car you turn to look back at and smile when you park it is 100 percent on the money; this car isn't a practical decision but if you have that flexibility, it's worth the indulgence. My car has the base Cooper engine and I still feel that oomph when I gun it; it's a blast! My car has a few extras: heated seats, panoramic sunroof, and the 6.6" display that became standard in 2017 models; overall, this car feels much more deluxe than its price tag dictates. It is after all a BMW in British costume so you get the best of both worlds, and it drives like a video game dream; I find the curviest roads in upstate NY to zip down and my Mini never fails to deliver! Maintenance/service on this car are expensive; a couple of brake pads and a sensor replacement cost me $625 after just a few months of owning the car, but that's part of the deal for having a beautiful, comfortably appointed subcompact that still turns heads!

Mini tidbits
Seats are difficult sitting for long periods of time if you have any lower back issues. Electronics not intuitive for older generation! Love everything else

More Enjoyable With Every Drive
We had an ‘08 Cooper S automatic for a couple of years; great rabid-squirrel-like acceleration and tight/harsh go-cart handling. Exciting car to drive but unrefined (and had a serious throttle lag issue). Fast forward to our ‘18 Cooper non-S (but still turbo 3-cylinder) with Premium Package, automatic trans, etc. This car continues to impress every time I drive it. Tight build quality, comfortable but fun driving, great fuel economy and premium feel. I have driven everything from old 3-cylinder Geo Metros to BMWs, 420HP Mustangs and our current 330HP Jeep Commander...this Mini delivers effortless low-rev acceleration/handling while returning 33mpg city/42mpg highway (during our ownership). This one’s a long-term keeper. The only negative I can think of is that we wished it would have stayed as small as the previous generation.

Gas mileage goes out the door in Sport mode. This car wants to be driven.

My Second Mini
This is my second MIni Cooper and the third generation rocks. The car is very quick with the new twin turbo and it has a little growl when you punch it. I am a little disappointed with the MPG. I only travel city never highway and I am only getting 23 MPG. You would think with a 3 cylinder the gas mileage would be better. Over all I am very happy with the car. With only 850 miles on it I hope to have many more.
