Best car I have ever owned

I was surprized how fantastic this car is. Parking is the best...you can fit anywhere! Lots of room in the front seat. Just great for getting around town.

Expect Compliments

I've never owned a car that was so: - Fun to drive - Envied by others (tons of compliments) - Gas efficient - Easy to parallel park in the smallest of spaces (extremely helpful since I park on city street every day) - Inventive - Sunroof and convertible all in one ...until I leased my Mini! If you ever thought about purchasing one, I would highly encourage you to take a test drive. I drove the BMW Z3 and then drove the Mini and I was sold. It's a great car and should you decide to lease/purchase one you will not regret it.

A cooler car you will not find!!!

I've had my 2005 cooper for almost 3 years and I have had no mechanical problems! Believe it or not, but this car has no problems in bad weather (snow, heavy rain). I have to admit that on the long haul (after abour 8 hours) the seats start to get a little uncomfortable, but for cruising around town in style, Mini is the way to go. The gas millage is great, the handling is great, acceleration is great, and drives very nice even at 100 mph!

A Great Car!

We've owned our MINI for two years and love it! It is surprisingly roomy inside for a small car (more (front seat only) legroom than most full size cars). It packs a lot of punch for a small car--definitely gets up and goes--and the handling is great: very tight and sporty. The gas mileage is terrific--drive and drive without having to fill up. The MINI is also a head-turner. It took a while for me to get used to everyone enviously watching our car.

Very poor Quality

I own one and it has problems since the begining. After 5 day a check light was on. After a few weeks a noise with a vibration start and the service senter does not know what is causing it.
