My 2010 Mini Cooper S is a very unique car.
Gas mileage is not what I thought it should be when I purchased it. Maintenance is very expensive since Mini is owned by BMW. Otherwise, I am really thrilled with the car. It's fun to drive and it is very cute. It is kind of small but I am used to it now.

I call it the micro-machine.
Love the handling, mpg is amazing. Fun to drive. Unique, comfortable, and fun. Does not come with run-flat tires like older models, but with a spare.

Lots of space in the clubman
My car is safe and holds a lot of groceries. I love the clubman style because it is so easy to pack up.the car to travel or with groceries. The only weird thing is to open the back doors you.have to.push a button on the remote which is not accessible if you have the key fob in the ignition. The back seat is also very roomy, just a pain to get into.

Small luxury car, big space.
I've had a couple problems with my mini since I've had it. Its things that would've been covered under warranty if I would've looked a couple months sooner but I put it off. Besides that it's my favorite vehicle I've ever had. Its built really solid and it has enough space for my needs. I can fit an entire drum set in the back. The car is comfortable enough for long travel. The big display screen is a really nice feature.

The car is dependable and is good on gas as old as it is.
The main concern is cost of repairs. But live it overall. Works get for hauling things in back even though it is small.

An interesting detail about the mini is that it has amazing gas mileage.
I drive a mini clubman. It is a sport and a stick shift. I absolutely love this car, it is my first car and I do not think I will want to drive any other car brand. It is a really fun car to drive around especially if it is a stick shift. It is super cute and although it looks small you can fit a lot in it. For example, I am able to fit two blow up paddle boards in the trunk without having to put the back seats down. Also, you may think that it is too small and you are too tall or big for it but my brother and dad are well over six feet and can fit into the mini easily without any problems. This car also has amazing mileage. Sometimes I can drive around for 2 weeks without having to refill the tank. However, you have to fill the mini with premium gas and it can be pretty costly, sometimes over $50. But it is well worth it to pay that because it will allow you go on perfect trips and unlike most cars, almost all the time, you will never have to stop to get more gas. Furthermore it is a really safe car. A while back I was driving and got hit by another car and I did not get hurt whatsoever. I would really recommend this car to anyone since it is the perfect car, not only is it a safe vehicle but it has great gas mileage and it has plenty of room.

It really does handle like a go-cart with an angry dog in the basement
Once you compare the Cooper S models to the JCW you will see the difference is significant. Handling, acceleration and fun. It really will do 150+.

Mini Cooper says 'More oil, please!'
I bought my car used with about 60,000 miles on it and have had it for about 1.5 years now. It has been my daily driver plus I've driven it from Phoenix to Flagstaff and Tucson on different occasions. It has been a great car. It's much roomier inside than you'd think; I'm 6' tall and have no issues with legroom or headroom. The only issue I've experienced has to do with oil; I need to add at least half a quart once a month. It doesn't appear to be running out anywhere so I assume it's a very slow leak.

Stay away!!! I would have given it 1/2 star.

This is my second and last mini cooper.
Burns through tires much too frequently as do most BMWs from what I understand. I find there to be much too much loud road noise in cabin. Expensive to maintain between parts and labor is extraordinarily expensive due to hard to reach components and. Fun to drive, corners wonderfully.

It is pretty sometimes when it is working.
Cost of maintenance is awful. Finding someone to work on them is difficult. I would not buy one again.

It has a unique speedometer and fun interior cabin lighting.
My car is a bit of a lemon. It has been to the shop multiple times. I paid for all the expenses out of pocket except one that was covered by the warranty. Thankfully I had not exceeded the mileage or I would have to pay $900 to get it fixed. It is a very light car so it is awful in the winter. You will get stuck very easily. Sometimes the windows leak since they have no trim on the top. The gas mileage and leather seats are nice. The door handles occasionally stick but I have not had trouble with it rusting yet.

Is The 2010 MINI Clubman A Good Car?

Yes. It is a wonderful car. The only thing I would like better is if it didn't need premium gas only. But it drives great and gets good mileage.

How Reliable Is The 2010 MINI Clubman?

It is reliable as long as everything in it is put in correctly, just like every other car. The stereos are known to have a few issues but that is about it.
Annaliese O.

Is The 2010 MINI Clubman A Good Value?

The price depends on the condition and if it is new or used. So there's not a set price. But mine was super affordable and it came in good condition.
