Most Reliable Car I Ever Owned. LOTS of Fun.

This was a gift for my 50th Birthday. I have loved it. LOTS of cargo space, leg and headroom, good mileage. Fun to have heated mirrors and seats, Sunroof, second set of tires for Winter and Summer. Really tight turning radius, a little like a Go-Cart or race-car.

MINIs are a delightful car to own

I used to own a Mini Cooper several years ago. I felt so great getting into my little convertible and zipping around town. Heated seats meant I could drive with the top down later into the fall. Just flat out gorgeous look on the outside of the car. The inside while being compact, still had leg room for my 6.1? guy to not feel squished. It had a back seat big enough for kids but not really adults, and that was perfect for me.

Favorite car I've ever owned.

Go cart handling, beautiful design, ultra reliable, and essential for trying to find a parking space in Los Angeles. Surprisingly spacious and can hold a fair amount of cargo for a small car--especially if it's a convertible.

Fun, great handling, sharp car!

Fun little car to drive. Must use premium gas to get full performance. Actually really great in the snow. Fit more in the rear than you would think. A little expensive to maintain, but worth it if you can afford it.

Cutest car I've ever had

This car is perfect for single or couples without kids or with one kid. It is super cut. A lot of fun to drive it. Easy to parking, saving gas.

I love my mini

I think this vehicle was meant for someone else, not me. People will tell you, oh what an amazing car! Yeah sure if you want to pay high prices at every shop. Okay maybe the prices aren't so bad but it's more than the typical Toyota or Jeep repairs i was use too. Plus i used this car for work. I would highly recommend the next driver to use this for trips or leisure.
