Great buy. Zippy. Reliable. Comfortable.
I have had no issues with the vehicle at all. I am in sales so I drive all day for work. It is always been extremely reliable. Very comfortable to be in all day. Only minus is that it cannot hold much but that is to be expected with a mini cooper anyway. I took out the back seats for some extra space.

Cooper hardtop 2 door review.
The pick-up is incredible, and it handles exceptionally well. The only tough thing to get used to is the feature that turns the engine off when stopped, but if you have had cars that do that before that feature should not take anybody by surprise. The interior is beautiful and feels like a racecar.

The mini cooper is not only stylish but efficient.
I needed something small yet efficient; however with style. The model I have is red and black, and fits my personality and needs well. My mini cooper does not give away a lot of gas mileage. I would suggest this car for people who do not live in tough terrain such as mountain towns, etc. Any place with harsh climates. I do not think this car was made to travel far places but more so for style and sport. The mini cooper offers much convenience in terms of room. Although it is a small car I have found the backseat as well as trunk space to be quite roomy. I was able to fit all seats as well as a trunk full of groceries comfortable without the car feeling like it hd to accelerate more and compensate for the gain in weight. I have not had any problems internally with the engine. I did find it however, so easy to park and overall maneuver. I did not feel like it was hard to drive at all. Overall if you are looking for a car that is gas efficient, easily to drive, and big enough for a single person, I do believe that the mini cooper is the car for you.

I absolutely love my car. My favorite part is I can park anywhere.
I love my mini cooper. It is so easy and fun to drive. I have no had a problem with it at all. The gas intake is great as well. I put $25 and it lasts me around 2 weeks. The sunroof on the car is great as well. If I was not thinking of having kids soon I would definitely keep this car for a long time but unfortunately I will need a bigger car.

I love 2 door cars that are fast but also cute.
It has a sport suspension so it is more of a bumpy ride than most cars but you get used to it. It is pretty spacious for how small the car is. You can park anywhere since it is so small, and it is very quick so easy to zip in and out of traffic! I love all the interior features as well.

I love the speed of my car.
No problem, quality performance, very safe and reliable on gas, 1 accident with minimal damage and kept me protected inside. Comfortable seats with a sunroof. Have had for over 2 years with barely any problems, great speed, stick shift, has good space for a two door car.

Great. Nice. Fun. Beautiful model. Innovative.
My mini cooper s is really great performance, comfort and fun to drive. But sometimes it's not reliable, my car stopped working one time on highway and kind of make me consider to change to another brand. By the overall is great car to use. And I maybe buy the new model soon. I am thinking about it.

Main issues with my car - the mini.
The primary issue with my car is size. It is hard to get in and out of and does not have a lot of trunk space. Also, the car is low and does not travel well over potholes when it is carrying heavy items. The bottom of the car is scratched up because it is so low.

The summary of my vehicle/highlight of an interesting detail is the car is fast.
My only issue is that mini dealership is the only place that can work on this vehicle & it is so expensive. Without problems on the car it is reliable. It performs well on going fast like a go-cart & making sharp turns at higher speeds & also into parking spots. It is a comfy car, way more spacious than it looks. My car features are the John Cooper works.

My vehicle is all blacked out: black body, black rims and tinted windows.
This is a great car for my lifestyle! I am a single female with two small dogs and it gets me where I need to go. I don't work far from home but have driven on the highway - no complaints! The steering is pretty tight and super fun handling. There is a built in cell phone holder and the Bluetooth capabilities are awesome - I have never had any issues.

Is sporty enough for 1 single person & trendy.
Was involved in a recall but is my second car purchasing the same model. Its small but is easy & stylish to get in and out just for myself to go to jib and back has nice stylish level of interior in black and basic the outside has more add ons versus what necessary on inside.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jonny M.

Quick and speedy. Leg room. Great on gas. GPS works great. Makes you feel like a race car driver at low speeds. Handles like a dream. Low center of gravity. Gripes to the road when wet out. In car audio system is amazing as well.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jonny M.

Con is if you are going on a long road trip, that you may not have enough room for all your bags. If you have more than two people, it makes packing bags a pain. Not really good in any kind of snow. I am short so legroom is not a problem. But anyone who is over 5'6' starts to have problems.
