First car my wife still LOVES!

Just a week after we took delivery of her Cooper S my wife told me, if anything happens to this car I want another one. After 50K miles she still feels the same. It's easy to see why. While outwardly small the feel inside is comfortable and refined, finishes are first class. The driving experience is unlike any other car I have driven. Coming clean, I used to race SCCA. I have had Austin Healey's, Porsche 911 and 944, Fiat 124 Spider racer and other hotties. This Cooper S is the bomb. It has a sport mode that winds the tranny and gives instant boost. This thing sticks to the road. It's handling compares to the 911, to be fair the 911 had a smoother ride. I cannot think of a better urban attack vehicle. The Cooper S is front wheel drive but understeer is very manageable even when powering into traffic. The 4 door Cooper S is not a long hauler, a trip over 3 hours will become tiring though not impossible. Stopping every couple of hours makes a trip doable. If we need hauling space after a Costco trip simply drop the back seats, plenty of space. Premium gas is required or the engine will not deliver all its capable of, at 30 mpg overall that's no problem. The 2018 is a third generation Mini built in Germany. Fit and finish are tight. Regular maintenance is the same as any other car. Reliability so far has been perfect. Bottom line, if you want a car for the city this is it. FAST, Nimble and easy to park. You'll love it. Another 10K miles, everything I said Again.

I am an old Euro man living in the States for the last 37 years. When I was in my 20s, I owned 1969 Mini, and that one would beat any BMW (1602,1802,2002) at the stop light. I was in love. Many years later, I owned 2006 Base model in California. It was a lot of fun, and it took me back in time. Never gave me any problems. I service all my vehicles (I own eleven of them...between trucks, quads, motorcycles, etc.), and "feed" them the best fluids/wearables money can buy. Recently I picked up 2018 Base Hardtop for my much younger wife. I had to drive it five hours to get it home. I realized how old I am! All the "computer stuff", Blueteeth (time for a visit to a dentist?)....etc. The fun is still there though. It made me feel young again, and it put a big smile on my face. Everything I remember about the Mini is still there, with a whole bunch of the unneeded "new age technology". I miss my "real" 1969 Mini. This one drives comparable to Porche 911. It corners extremely well (I had about 100 miles of a winding mountain road to cover), it's fast, and the manual transmission works well. I was "talking to it" all the way. Gear display demands that you upshift way too soon (around 2000 rpm), and the real power comes on with turbo (over 3500 rpm). It would tell me to upshift, and I would tell it no. I drove it like I was in my 20s again. I purchased it used (from the original owner that took good care of it) with 30K miles. Paid peanuts for it. No regrets. Wife loves it. "Happy wife - happy life".
