Cutest and most sporty car I've ever owned

I thought this car would be too small, but the interior is surprisingly roomy. The feel of it is great. The whistles and bells are wonderful and it fits great in my garage! Only had it a few days, but loving it.

2019 MINI Hardtop review: Our expert's take

By Aaron Bragman

The verdict: Mini’s original small, sporty model still proves massively entertaining, but it’s getting pricey for what it delivers.

Versus the competition: Small, sporty cars are becoming increasingly rare in the SUV-crazed U.S., but there are less expensive and equally entertaining import options from sources like Hyundai, Volkswagen, Kia, Fiat and a host of other automakers.

Driving a Mini Cooper in a world full of towering crossovers and SUVs is a sobering yet refreshing experience. Yes, the latest Mini is considerably larger than its 1960s minimalist original; it’s even bigger than the rebooted model that showed up nearly 20 years ago. Under BMW’s guidance, it’s become more sophisticated, more technology-packed and more reliable, too. The current top-performance model is the John Cooper Works version seen here. It features unique styling, a more powerful engine, special seats and trim, and an adaptive suspension. And for 2019, a limited-availability Knights Edition is available that brings even more unique content. But nearly 20 years into its reboot and after a mild refresh for 2019, does Mini still deliver driving magic?
