Fun to drive, very responsive.

This car meets all my needs. Handles very well, is good on gas, pick up is zippy and very responsive and stylish. Based on this car, I would definitely buy another Mini.

Fast car for a cheap price

This car is quick and fun to drive on straight or curvy roads. Fun sleeper street racer, I raced a 2017 corvette 6 speed and we were evenly matched shift for shift ending in a tie, eats mustangs and camaros for lunch. I do not recommend this vehicle if you live in a area prone to potholes. Hit pot hole 2 years ago while living in Indiana and $2000 in damage to suspension, tires and wheels. That cost was parts and I installed them. My car has been tuned. But no mods

Nice Car - 2011 Mini Cooper S

Car was in very good condition, well maintained and turbo charged. It drove very well with a lot of power. It's a little bit of a bumpy ride and loud cabin noise, but I love it. I just turn up the tunes. The sound system is banging!!!

Fun and Practical

Car is fun to drive, especially with the top down. The top goes up and down like magic -- one finger on one button is all it takes. It also has FWD which makes it better for driving in inclement weather.

Good car purchased from sketchy used car dealer

I bought this car for my daughter and she loves it, it's just not my cup of tea personally...I'm 6'-2" tall and while I haven't driven it much I'm thinking its no the best car for a long road trip if you're on the tall or large side of the population. Also, it is somewhat expensive to maintain.

For the price it can chase down much larger fish..

Minis are not for everyone. They are not for those who want an A-B car for mere commuting. They ride a little on the violent side and are too small to be considered a family car. If you are an A-B person, get a Nissan Versa and be sad. Minis are for those who want to play in life. For those who like to take a corner a little faster than they should or for those who like to surprise the occasional big V8 with how fast they are. If you bought a 6 cyl Mustang or Camaro thinking 300 hp was going to take out most cars, you haven't encountered a Cooper yet.

My Dream Car

I have owned two previous mini’s and I own a 2014 Countryman. I truly love the Mini brands. I think they are fun to drive and I like the look
