Fantastic little car

2020 MINI Hardtop 2 Door John Cooper Works 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

This car is one of the most enjoyable drives I have ever owned. I ordered mine in the Orange with Black roof, no sunroof (I have had issues with sunroofs with multiple brands before). I have the 17 inch all black wheels, the HK sound system and the electronics package that includes the upgraded Cruise control and the pseudo self parking (which i still havent used). The power to weight in this little car is fantastic and the power delivery is great. Minimal turbo lag, mostly from a dead stop. But if you are in sport mode it mostly disappears. In the economy mode while driving across the southwest I get 30+ MPG (I averaged 35 on one tanks headed from Las Vegas to Phoenix) while still driving 75+. But this little car excels in tight roads, the tighter the better. Taking turns at high speed with little body lean, maintaining neutral steering with little to no pushing when getting aggressive. It is a fantastic little car to drive aggressively. Regarding the number one complaint I have heard, I must disagree. It is a firmer ride, yes. But i have driven my 50+ year old body on 1900 mile trips with no issue. The seats support you very well. Maybe the 18 inch wheels are firmer, i do not know. But with the 17s and a little extra sidewalls and the wonderful seat, I have had no issues with back discomfort, as opposed to some other "more comfortable" cars I have owned. No, its not a touring sedan. But its more comfortable than anything else in its class that i have driven. And again, its power, especially when already moving, is very good. This is the single most enjoyable (fun!) driving car I have ever owned, which includes Audi A4s and BMW 3 series. Unless you are driving on extended washboard roads this little guy is far more comfortable and far more fun that you have any reason to expect.

1st time Mini Cooper S owner

I Just bought a 2019 F56, mini cooper S sunroof hardtop from Carmax. I’m so pleased with the performance and handling. It came fully loaded and the Apple Play was an added bonus I had not anticipated. The interior has so much leg room up front for someone who’s 6’1”. However, those back seats are roomy enough for two smaller people just not good for a four person road trip. The control console and back up camera are well placed in the dash area. And it has all the entertainment gadgets to keep up with your music. You can program your cell phone for hands free operation. It has decent room in the hatch area for groceries, books, laptops and small packages. It has enough space for golf clubs if I fold the rear seats down. I can confidently say that the Mini Cooper S is BMW’s hidden little Hot Rod. It has great power, light body construction makes you feel like your pushing more than the rated 187hp. And, with proper modifications this lil Rocket can easily reach 300hp if this owner chooses to tune it further. It currently has leatherette racing style seats which was a bonus. It has 17” wheels and tires, 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, auto light sensors and it has a lowered stance, so I’m not sure if the previous owners install a lowered spring kit, but it has a little attitude when parked and drives like a slot car on Disney rails. All-n-all, I love this little car. And I’m discovering the cult following and its popularity especially in the UK that mini coopers have. I’ve given the Mini to my daughter to drive to college and to her work and she’s discovering how much fun the Mini Cooper S is to drive. The ease of parking in smaller spaces compared to her last vehicle, and it’s great on gas. I love this Mini Cooper S. I’m noticing how mini cooper owners are a community of car enthusiasts. And, you have to be a bit of a Rock Star (as my daughter is) to flaunt this mildly custom Mini, especially when she pulls into a parking lot of an event she’s attending or hosting and all her friends drive Teslas, Hondas, Acuras, BMW’s and Mercedes. I love it. And she loves it too.

Nice car, shame the warranty isn't honoured.

2023 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper SE 2dr Hatchback (electric DD)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Bought an SE in July 21. It's a great commuter and is very fun to drive. Mine is mostly used for commuting. With an EVSE in my carport, charging is a breeze. Except when it randomly decides not to... There are probably few better cars for 10-60 mile daily commutes. I autocross mine. If I wasn't such a lousy driver, I suspect I would do well. The bad is warranty issues: Initial fault, loose shutter flaps. Despite this being a common fault, they very grudgingly reattached. At a few thousand miles, it randomly did not charge one morning, despite being set to do so. I didn't notice until I unplugged and got in. Got out, plugged it back in, it charges. Huh, weird. Next, I discovered a split driveshaft gaitor, at 6,000 miles. Wear and tear, Sir. That will be $2000 for us to fix. I left it. At about 8k, I noticed that the leatherette seat is cracking. I specifically picked leatherette after hating the dirt magnet cloth seats on my previous Mini. The leatherette was touted as very hard wearing. Wear and tear, sir! I had more no-charge glitches over the next 15,000 miles. Eventually, someone I loaned my car to discovered that when it randomly wouldn't charge, the 'fix' was to lock or unlock the doors. A couple more incidences after I started checking with the app if it had charged. Whatever I did to the evse, the car would not charge. The only fix was to unlock or lock it. Even swapping to the portable and still not charge, unless I locked them car. I booked it in for diagnosis. Because I did not have the original EVSE but merely compatible ones, they would not diagnose it. The EVSEhas no way to tell us the car is locked or unlocked. 22,000 miles, the seat looks like it will split soon. I had originally planned to trade this one in for a J01 when they finally got here, but I'll never buy a new Mini again thanks to the dismal warranty. I bought my car with cash, so you would have thought Mini would be interested in keeping me happy. My car has accumulated multiple expensive faults that I really feel should have been covered under warranty. If Mini had fixed issues, this would be a 4 star review.

2022 Cooper S in Green

2022 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Bought this vehicle used at a local dealer after 2 previous owners. Carfax was clean and can only surmise that the circumstances of the previous owners changed and the size of the car was too small on the inside. This is the 2 door hardtop version and yes it is very very small on the outside and inside. Back seat is unusable for adults due to no leg room with front seats in normal positions. Storage behind the rear seat is tiny and could hold maybe 2 carry on size bags if you travel. I love the performance of the car as it has the venerable 2.0L turbo four made by BMW that is found in many of their models. You can see BMW influence with electronic systems, infotainment and driving characteristics. The ride is firm but not punishing and the road noise is pretty well muted for such a small car. Overall my wife loves the car and gets many compliments on it.

3500 miles, still giving it 5 stars

I am loving this new car. Mine has a white top and mirrors over British Racing Green metallic paint with the standard black synthetic interior and scissor style wheels. It looks very sharp and lives up to its reputation as a BMW .5 series as it is both sporty and comfortable. And plenty fast enough for me. I was a bit worried about a rattle in the B pillar by the driver's head, but that turned out to be frameless window seals just needed some conditioner, a 30 second job to be done about twice a year. The car is tight and quiet now. I bought an aftermarket metal surround for the remote control that allowed me to ditch the silly huge round thing. The remote is now heavier, feels higher quality and isn't so huge and silly looking. Pros: Sporty comfortable ride suitable for backroad shenanigans and interstate cruising; Excellent 7 speed automatic transmission w/ great manual/sport function; Effective and reliable iDrive tech and nav interface; Excellent voice command functions; Reliable and no rattles; Excellent headlights; Big fat soft heated Nappa leather steering wheel that is a joy to use; Awesomely comfortable standard S model seats with tons of adjustability; Huge panoramic roof; Lots of content for what is a reasonable price in today's market; Great MPG. Cons: Relatively narrow powerband; Some road/wind noise at highway speeds; It's really a 2 seater with lots of cargo space; Silly shaped remote control.
