Super Fun AND Practical

LOVE THIS CAR! The more I drive it, the more I love it!!! It’s a blast to drive, hugs the road, and has some good heft to it, so you don’t feel like you’re in a tin box. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this little gem. A lot of attention to detail was put into this vehicle. Lots of fun little surprises. The ONLY thing I wish it had more of was storage space....the center console is very small. But that’s just a personal thing for me.

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.

Best Kept Secret...Everyone should own one!

It may be small on the outside and if you are not hauling stuff 24/7, this is truly a PERFECT car to own. There’s a MINI for everyone and to my surprise, I took the Hardtop 4-door over the Countryman (which I thought I would get). This German infused UK import is superbly built, 189 hp punchy, and incredible generous cargo space boot (almost 43 cu ft with rear seats folded which have a very simple, uncomplicated pulley to release/lift). Heated seats and awesome dual zone AC with leather seating makes for a comfortable drive. My MINI parallel parks itself, has proximity sensors all around, love the auto-dimming rear view mirror, and wireless cellphone charging. This truly is a SMART car that has me smiling every time. If you love VW, Audi, BMW engineering and driving feel, MINI offers you a refreshing take on European luxury. Only two things I wish the MINI had: interior storage space in doors, under seats, cubbys, etc. — and a larger fuel tank (approx. 11 gallons). From convertible, electric, Clubman (station wagon like) and Countryman (SUV), MINI has motoring covered for all. I’m impressed with the very minimal manufacturer suggested maintenance schedule. I think this is a perfect car for one person or a couple. For a smaller family of 3 or 4, Countryman would be what I would consider only.

All the sporty and fun factors of the original 2-door look, but with 4-door convenience! The base model has plenty of pep and tons of extras like heated seats, backup camera, bluetooth phone and music capabilities, moonroof, and is a head-turner on the road. We're in love!
