Researching the BMW 3cyl variable valve turbo:

I've not driven it yet, but we investigated everything from the variable valve system to the turbo charger and watched a video of a complete teardown of the engine. We were so impressed that even before finishing the purchase of the one we were already looking for another one. This engine is AMAZING!! Can't WAIT to drive it!! And with a 6 Speed manual? COME ON YOU LITTLE BEAUTY!!!

Mini JCW Fun car to drive

This car is the first fast car i have owned, I love it. My children says it like a rocket ship on the ground, lol. even though its small it fits everything i need plus im averaging about 29mpg which is amazing. If your shopping Mini coopers I would go for the John Cooper Works!

Cute and fast !

I love this car. It’s quick and feels like driving a go-kart. So fun to drive and still fuel efficient. Interior is very different from 90% of card out there that have the same layout.

My family like it better than the SLK.

I still like the SLK better but the MINI is like a GOKart and fun to operate. I am looking for a four door for a replacement soon.

Super Fun Car

I loved owning my Mini Cooper! This great commuter car, that surprisingly has a lot of room. Takes premium gas, but has excellent gas milage. Sounds great driving up.

I love my Mini Cooper S

This little “Pocket Rocket” is amazing. The car has an amazing suspension system, great turbo, and brakes. I love the way it looks (retro look) and the amazing gas milage. I bought a 2009 S type Mini with 78K miles and the car performs great. I recommend using high octane gas since is a direct gas injection and its turbo charge and ad a Techron Complete Injector cleaner every now and then before you fill the tank.

I bought from Lokey Subaru

Great little driving car. Love the turbo. Very comfortable.... The leather seats are so comfy and it was easy to clean the leather and make it look fabulous.

Fantastic car

The mini is a powerful little car that absolutely hugs the road. With the top down, it's a joy to ride in the countryside, on city streets or down the highway.
