Fun little car.

Bought used at 90,000 miles and have driven only 5,000 miles in past six months, so I cannot speak to overall reliability, but the car seems very sound and is just plain fun to drive. At first the front seemed a little narrow for a six foot 270 pounder like me, but I have now taken it on a couple of five-hour trips and was perfectly comfortable. I have no intent to even try the back seat, but we primarily use it for short commutes and as an around town second car.

Love this car, but gets expensive

This car was my baby. Go-kart driving in one of the safest vehicles! More roomy than you?d expect. Great with corners, excellent acceleration, solid gear shifts, 6-speed manual. But once things start to need repairs & replacing, you?re going to be forking out a lot of money. I owned mine for 8 years, the last 3 of which cost several thousand dollars (each) in maintenance. Overall, I ended up trading it in for a more practical vehicle... but I seriously miss driving it.

Mercedes M class

I does not worth money at all. Some parts get broken every single day. I spend more than I could have imagined. It would be okay if it was cheap to get it fixed. But I spent more so far comparing it to the price that I bough the car for.

So Far, So Good

I love the style and look of the Mini Cooper. It is a mix of English looks with the bonus of German engineering. I think it was to Mini Cooper's advantage to have been purchased by BMW. I'm sure their reliability should improve with BMW's acquisition.

I always wanted one. Glad to have it.

Small, peppy, handles wonderfully. No issues whatsoever. I like use of space and the comfort. Love those heated seats!

Fun car that comfortably holds 4

I have only had it for about 48 hours but this is a very fun vehicle. While it is 7 years old and missing bluetooth, it have a lot of nice little features missing form other cars, especially other convertibles. Most convertibles have no rear leg room and hard to get in and out of. While not as easy as a 4 door car, it is probably the easiest of a 2 door car that I have tried. There are accent lights inside that you can change the color. The remote key functions are programmable. The trunk is surprising large and can be slightly expanded when the top is up. Back seats go down and you can pass stuff through such as I could go to the hardware store and pickup 2x4's without an issue. It does everything I need it to do in a car and then also gives you a fun ride of being a convertible (with a sun roof option) and a 6 speed transmission all while sipping gas. On the highway doing 80mph with the top down I get over 30mpg. Hard car to beat.

A reliable car so far

On the way home from purchasing the vehicle the antenna broken on the interstate. I called and texted Everly the salesman. He has not contacted me back and has not contacted me back about the power train warranty I have for the roaders.
