Fun but with faulty electronics and rattles galore

2020 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Second 2dr S I’ve had (other was a 2013). While the iconic package looks great, the electronics were quite faulty; I was unable to use Apple CarPlay for the first four months of ownership, and I’ve had a variety of issues with the speakers. In addition, there are so many things that rattle, likes the HUD, something in the dash, in the trunk area, etc. I wanted to be a Mini guy, but the poor quality vehicles (and even worse maintenance teams) make it very very difficult to consider. I’ve had the car 9 months, have driven less than 5k mi, and have taken it in for service more than five times already.

Fun & Sporty Meets Quirky Poor Build Quality

I like my Mini but have fallen out of love with it. The biggest complaint is that after a year, the car has multiple rattles, and they are horrendously annoying. At the price point, I would expect a car with higher quality materials and surfaces and more thought placed into useable space. Instead the car has many hard plastic surfaces, a totally useless center armrest that houses a wireless phone charger that is too small to fit most phones. The cup holders offer zero adjustment and are awkwardly placed. There is very little space to place things such as phone and sun glasses. is also Anything prior to MY 22 will also be missing basic options such as heated steering wheel and blindspot monitoring. I do mostly like my Mini. It is a blast to drive, but between the multiple intermittent rattles, missing options (for a top of the line model), and quirky interior, I think there are better options out there.

Very underestimated

2021 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper SE 2dr Hatchback (electric DD)

It took a little convincing that the Mini Cooper SE was worth giving a go but I am so pleased I did! This has so much zip in it you can’t help but smile when you are driving it. Stopping at lights, so many other drivers underestimate how quick off the mark it is! The range is not an issue as it charges so quickly and also lasts longer than it’s initial estimation. Even on highways this little beast seems to gain kms which goes against all logic. Such a fantastic car and I can’t wait to see what else Mini add to their lineup.

Great little car - The cheapest BMW you can buy

I think this Mini Cooper JCW great car. It’s really it’s own thing, and doesn’t compare to other cars like the GTI/Golf R. It’s just different. I’ve owned both of those Volkswagens. They both had more power, but the power band was very narrow so that you had to constantly shift, and they couldn’t put the traction down. They also have this weird thing where they lift up in the front when you put the pedal down. It feels like the engine is trying to twist and come out of the bottom of the car. The Mini doesn’t do that. I previously owned a BMW M235i. It had well over 400 hp as modified. The Mini has a little more than half the power, but is more fun. The power in the BMW was not really usable. You were illegal in four seconds. Driving the Mini, sometimes I feel like I’m flying as I run through the gears and I look down to see I’m only doing 65 mph. Corners like crazy. Looks great. Easy to wash and maintain because of the size. The way I see it, this is the cheapest high-performance BMW you can buy.

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.
