"The car that fits everyone. I can load so much into it with seats down. It is a 6 speed which truly aquires 28 city and 38 Hy-way. Only has 4500 miles logged due to injury om my part. Willing to sell for another mini product."

"Though very fun to drive and gets lots of positive attention, this car is very unreliable and has overheating issues. Buy extended warranty if your foolish enough to buy this car. DO NOT GET ONE!"

"This is my fourth mini, my first JCW, and I`d buy another. The best driving vehicle, even better than my old M3 and a lot cheaper. The biggest bang for the buck as far as I`m concerned. Also, I`ve been getting 40-41 mph highway...and I`m not a easy driver."

"I'm in love with my new Mini. Only difficulty is learning some of the controls. Many things seem complicated. Of course, I hadn't bought a new car in 14 years...... I do think there is a European design to some of the controls. No big deal, I just keep studying the owner's manual. Absolutely thrilled with my Mini, whom I lave named Luna."

"You can't compare this car to the most cars listed for comparison. It handles like a dream, goes where it's pointed, and can embarass cars costing twice as much on the autobahn - all while getting very decent gas mileage."
