    Best car I've ever owned!

    This car turns heads! I get looks constantly due to the sleek look and the sound of the turbo. Not to mention it comes with a snazzy media player that is easy to use. I will definitely be buying Mini brand again!

    Great value, real and perceived, for us.

    The Mini Cooper 4-door Hardtop made a great early Christmas present for my wife. She is thrilled with this vehicle, and it has all of the accessories she wanted in an automobile.

    Reminds me of BMW

    My 2016 BMW 3 series was totaled by a uninsured driver and I was shopping for a new car, I really liked this Mini Cooper, it's drive reminded so much of my BMW, that I was real close to buying it. The 3 cylinder engine was to slow for me, and to move up to S model is way to expensive, but the car is super cute and handles like a Beamer.
