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

Should have kept my 2015 model

2019 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 6M)

Recently upgraded my lease to the 2019 model in solaris orange. I regret the decision 100%. Acceleration is poor as the automatic gearbox struggle to work out which gear it should be in. In turn, this means there is significant turbo lag. On motorways this performance issue is obvious, especially when changing lanes. In city traffic, good luck accelerating out of a corner. Also gone in the 2019 model is the hidden dash storage above the glove box and the netting storage pouces on the sides of the footwells. I opted not to get the premium sound upgrade - a choice I regret. The audio quality is like that on a Versa or Rio with less speakers. A very sad Mini.

Small, sporty, and surprising

The Great * Really quick and maneuverable. Go-Kart racing it is. * Visibility in all directions is great. Part of this is because the windshield frame is mostly vertical, so it doesn't block as much of the view as other cars. * Material is of high quality (it's a BMW), so it is very comfortable. I took a 4-hour drive and had no back fatigue at all. Plus, the seats hug you, again giving that rally-car feel. * Front seats can fit most people. Once MINI increased the size of the car from the traditional MINI, it could then fit people up to 6'3" or so. The Good * The range is better than advertised. We typically get 10-20% more range than expected, so we can get around 150 miles per full charge in the shoulder seasons, 130 miles in the summer, and 110 miles in the coldest weeks of winter. Given that this covers 90-95% of drives for most people, we almost always choose to drive this car instead of our gas sedan or our hybrid minivan. * It can actually fit 4 people. Yes, large adults won't be comfortable in the back, but they can fit in a pinch. The Bad * You can't reliably use this for long-range trips. Sure, if you are familiar with the route, you can plan ahead and charge along the way. But sometimes there aren't convenient chargers or, if there are, others are using it so you wait a half hour or even an hour to get your turn. This makes it much less convenient than an ICE car. I have done trips of 200 miles, but only when I was not pressed for time. * It's hard to get in and out of the back seat. In fact, if you are a medium-to-large adult, you pretty much have to exit the car backwards to get out. That said, we usually drive it solo or with another adult, both in the front seat, so this isn't a frequent problem. Again, we have a sedan and a minivan for larger groups. * For taller people who have to move the driver's seat back, the roof is relatively low, so it's hard to see stoplights that are relatively close.

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.

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.
