Surprisingly amazing performance and feel!

I was blown away the first time I drove a MINI Cooper. You have to experience it to understand what I'm saying. BMW is behind them, and their slogan is "Ultimate Driving Machines". You can feel that in these MINI Coopers. ( mine is a 2018 MINI Cooper S)

Sporty, fun car. Great purchase!!!

Purchased a used British Racing Green Mini Cooper S with just 14,500 miles and drove it back home to Atlanta. Runs great with newly repaired brakes, sun roof, great sound system and sun-roof, but most importantly the engine is sound and runs really well. I am very happy with my purchase from VML Motors. This is my 3rd Mini Cooper and would buy again from this family run business.

MOST FUN FOR THE MONEY

Great styling combines with excellent functionality in a great performance package at an affordable price. I have owned a lot of cars, usually only keeping them for a year on average. I have had this car for over four years and have loved every minute of it.

Most fun to drive car I've every owned

A bit quirky in some ways but that is the Mini mystic. Mine was an S and the performance was awesome though I drove it conservatively most of the time. I owned it for 6 years... hated to see it go but I really needed a beater car I didn't care about getting dinged and worn. Mini was perfect and I always wanted it kept in tip top shape.

The most fun car I have ever owned

I love our 2013 MINI Cooper S. This is one of those cars that puts a smile on your face every time you get in it. I have had some fast cars in the past but nothing made me smile more or was more fun to drive than this thing. This thing is like driving a go cart on rails. All around a great car.

fun!!

This car is a blast to drive. Great on gas. Plenty roomy for driver passenger and cargo. Feels stable and heavy enough despite its size to take on any road trip.
