This is a 2016 Mini Cooper, DREAM TO DRIVE!!!!!!

Hands down, the most fun drive since my 69 VW Beetle in 1973!!!! 6-Speed Manual Transmission shifts with ease and the vehicle is cherry condition! Beautiful Milk Chocolate Leather Upholstery is luxurious and the features are wonderful. It's a real showstopper!!!

Incredibly Sturdy and Reliable

Easy to park with surprising amount of space. Convertible top comes down smoothly; heated seats, sports mode make it a fun ride in all weathers.

Love my Mini Cooper

I love the look of this car and the power it has in such a small package. It handles very well and looks good while doing it. I especially love the interior lighting and the center speedometer. The joystick menu system is a nice extra, too.

Mini is fun sized

This car is an absolutely perfect car for my son's first car. It's so fun to drive, sometimes I steal it to head to the store.

Fun, reliable and has attitude

Has BMW quality with fun and attitude. A small car that does not feel small but also has some zip in the motor and has great gas mileage.

This is a Great car!

I love this car. Besides its unique design, there are lots of great benefits to owning it. First, it's reliable. Second, it gets far better gas mileage than expected: about 38 mpg for a blend of backroads and highway. It's simple to park, fun to drive, and easy to maintain. Please note: this car is a 2013; the cars.com dropdown menu does not provide 2013 as a choice, but requires a year to be selected!
