Fun car to drive and solid AWD

This car is everything I wanted. It is an AWD great for the 4 seasons I live in, it has great performance, sporty, elegant, 6 speed, and seats 5. Mine came with the roof rack so I can put a tent or storage unit on top. Perfect! Only wish it had bluetooth capabilities for my Iphone music. I had to buy a hundred dollar adapter to listen to Spotify.

Handles like a dream. It is a 2016. Miss the 4 seats in my original model but learning to live with the bench seat.

Mini was Major

Roomy, very quick mobile and Kool styling with bells and whistles great mileage and a spare tire!!!! All run flats now which stinks, because I had a blowout with the mini and run flats with no spare will be costly.

Great Car So Far

I've owned this car for 3 years as a pre-own. It is currently 5 years old. Haven't had any major issues thus far. It has great get up and go. Zips all around town. $35 at mid-grade to fill up in the southwest, lasts about a week and a half. The only downfall is, the cup holders on the rail broke very easily and can no longer be attached to the rail. The giant speedometer in the center is unecessary and redundant. I would have liked more options for a stereo/navi rather than the speedometer.

Great in the snow & good on MPG

I loved this vehicle however, owning a MINI is very expensive once out of the warranty window. For a car enthusiast who has the extra income, this car is a dream. For someone who in entering the world of parenthood & does not have the disposable income anymore, this is not for you.

Best Mini sportscar to own

This car is both a very economical car and a sports car in one. The controls are all user friendly. The amount of technology in the car was great. Amount of mpg was outstanding.
