Super Fun! Great drive!

I really love this car. It is a lot of fun to drive. I have taken this car all over Nor-Cal. There is no road it can't handle. Leaves a smile on your face every time you get out.

Great MPG

A great car for getting around town and way more leg room than I expected. Easy to maintain and great gas mileage. Sporty look and lots of backseat room and a hatchback!

An absolute steal.

This is a great little car. I have enjoyed driving it. Corners like you would not believe. It is a classic and everyone notices it. Mainly from the movie "The Italian Job", also Mr Bean, and of course Austin Powers "The Spy Who Shagged Me" Trust me you will be noticed in this car.

I love my MINI!

I had always wanted a MINI. And this one did not disappoint. Super fun to drive especially if you're an aggressive driver like me. Sport Mode is awesome on curvy roads.

Fantastic!

I have always been a MINI lover and this car proved why I love them. It was so fast and comfortable. It was extremely smooth driving and it felt like you were floating over the road. I have never test drove such a great car.

Sporty, fun to drive.

I recently bought a 2013 MINI Cooper Hardtop S. This is a second car for us, mostly used by me to drive around town. Our location is full of winding, hilly roads, and this car was made for them. It's not the smoothest ride, but it sure is fun to drive on these roads. I wouldn't want to take it on a long road trip, but for around town it can't be beat.

Cute, fast, engaging - a great city car

I wanted something that was a good city car: fast, small, and matched my personal aesthetic. The Mini Cooper Hardtop has all of these qualities. The interior design is heavily stylized to represent a classic image, with big circular dials dominating the dashboard and switches in the center of the console to operate the windows. I take issue with two things in the car's interior, and they are 1) the awkward position of the E-break, and 2) the fact that you need an adapter to play music through the USB port. It's small, but perfectly comfortable as a two-seater. Three people isn't painful, but four is borderline infeasible if the driver needs the leg room. You'll likely experience some drag under certain conditions, like driving uphill with the air on. Still a smooth reliable driving experience. It's a TON of fun to drive and takes turns super fast. It's low to the ground, so speed bumps will be your biggest enemy. Driving with the windows down is fun, and the windshield has a wide-open design that will let you see for miles. Great for scenic drives.

Great car inside out out!

I love my car. It's cute and the design is great! It's comfortable driving and spacious inside even though it's a tiny car.
