2006 MINI Cooper S consumer reviews

This car was great for driving around Southern California in with the top down. It has great get up and go and a sporty look.

The most easily manual car that I have driven in my life. Defentely it is a easy car for new manual driver, but also its a monster if you let it go hard

I bought this convertible, for my wife. She really seems to like it a lot. Good value for the money.

This car is a blast to drive, I'd highly recommend these cars. It is like driving a super powerful golf cart.

The first generation of the Mini Cooper in the US helped to further widen the audience to rally and autocross since the early 2000s. A small but mighty car, the hot hatch provides stability, style, character, and speed in a tiny package for a tiny price. My household has collectively owned five Minis since 2004, each more exhilarating than the last. With a surprising amount of room inside, I have hauled three dogs and a bunch of camping gear, picked up groceries, and strapped kayaks to the top with ease. Gas mileage is reliably above 22mpg, even driving in Sport mode and driving like a rally-racer. It is incredibly reliable with reasonably-priced and readily-available parts when needed. Finally, this car is fun and you look great in it.

My 2006 S just hit 150000 miles. I absolutely love driving it but it has been pretty expensive to maintain. 2 clutches, 1 transmission, 2 motor mounts, water pump, more brake jobs than I can count, various suspension parts, misc other issues... I mean I might as well have bought an actual BRITISH sports car... I'm still glad I bought it but I don't think I'd buy another one...

Last year of the Supercharger. Reliable and easy to work on. Corners like a champ and is a drivers car.

My mini is an "S", which means its engine is turbocharged. Feel comfortable on tight spots on the road, as the pickup is awesome--get away from anything !! Huge mood enhancer with the top down, and unique styling--beautiful seats.

If you want a car that handles extremely well and inspires a smile and a wave to others who know, Mini Coopers are the way to go!

Bought the car at Conway Service & Sales of 23 Hollis Street, Pepperell, MA. Chad and the gang were great. The car was professional serviced and detailed. The car has great handling and performance and great on gas. Look small from the outside and tons of room and comfort on the inside. lucky to fine an early 2006 with the Chrysler Motor and Supercharger, coupled with a 6 speed auto so the wife enjoys the ride. looking toward many years of fun driving.
