Most fun car I have ever owned

There is not a more enjoyable car to drive that gets this good gas mileage. I have owned 3 and never had problems with any of them. Have to get a manual to truly enjoy a Mini.

Nightmare of a motor

It was great and all until it hit over 100,000 Miles. I cost me over $4,000 in parts/labor after it started to have problems. Fun car with low miles, nightmare when it gets into the 100,000 mile range.

Go Go Go!

After some mechanical work and new tires, the 2009 Mini Cooper S runs like a go cart on rails! In sport mode it is responsive, steering is crisp and the excitement is total. The styling of the S is classic Mini with an updated leather interior and carbon fiber accents. The gas mileage is excellent and the value is great!

A grown ups go kart

Fun and stable small car. Lots of get up and go. Handles extremely well for a small compact car. With snow and a bit of weight does great in the snow. Highly recommend for getting around and getting great gas mileage.
