2009 MINI Cooper consumer reviews

Bought this Mini for my wife as a Christmas gift. She was thrilled! She had a red Audi 80 with manual transmission when we met, and she loves to drive a stick shift. Got compliments from neighbors and friends...she's truly a beautiful beast.

This car was great for wheeling around town running errands and also for using for long trips. It got great gas mileage also.

Averaged 39MPG, made those pain in the butt roundabouts a gas. Drove it from Wisconsin to Miami, Fl once and to Colorado Springs twice. Handled and rode great. Looking for another one.

All sorts of cool features. But major issue with the gasket head. $5000+ fix. It was an issue with the manufacturing for that year, solved in later years. Otherwise totally reliable.

This car is the best car I have owned! The car is great on gas mileage and is very fast. The acceleration is great. This car is great for commuting or driving long distance!

The 2009 MINI Cooper has been an absolute blast to drive. It handles like it's on rails, turns on a dime and feels more connected to the road than any vehicle I've ever driven (with the exception of a Porsche). This is no slouch: It's peppy engine and agile handling means the MINI Cooper zips around like it's reading your mind. The sport-tuned handling isn't for everyone, though, and backseat passengers take a, well, back seat to your driving bliss. Treat it well and maintain it regularly, and it should keep you into motorin'.

Built by BMW and very nicely designed, styled, and well-built. Very fun to drive. If you feel the need for speed opt for the S model.

After finally paying off my 2004 Xterra I knew I wanted something a little more gas friendly. The Mini's always caught my eye (always been a car guy) and seen a few around town in the "wild" but not up close. I checked out a couple and although they were nice they were all 2006-2007 models with automatics and sun roofs and in the standard color/ vinyl stripe scheme. I seen my mini 2009 s series with 44K miles. Red with black top and trim, but with white rally stripes on the hood. It has a 6 speed manual trans with a water cooled turbo, leather seats with black/ gery and chrome checkered interior. Just Beautiful. Quicker than ever imagined, and even though you have to run premium in them the trade off in gas mileage is well worth it. Love it, the maintenance is a little higher, (synthetic oil premium gas) and it is not a shade tree mechanic service car but it is a great piece of kid gloves machinery.

I have had my Mini Cooper diesel for 2 months and I cant praise it enough ! Its fun to drive, very nippy when needed, holds the road brilliantly and it's cheap to run..what more can you ask for !! The boot holds my weekly shopping with no problem and I just love it... best car I've ever bought..cant praise it enough.

I was looking for a MINI Auto transmission. Though the add says its Auto, its actually Manual transmission. I had drove 50 miles to find that its Manual. Car itself looks great and the sales guy was really friendly and nice.
