My mini is a fun car to drive, especially in sport mode. I like it is small size and ease in parking. The thing I like least is the repair costs as everything is very compact and hard to get to. Other than that, I really like it and drive it year round.

Small and fun to drive especially on the highway.
The ride can be rather bumpy, although it is extremely fun to drive. The maintenance can get a bit pricey, considering I do not have access to a lot of money. I had to replace the chip in the key and that ran me almost $400. The car is super cute and fashionable. I would definitely get another one if the time was right and I had the necessary money for preventive maintenance.

Excitement in a small package.
Absolutely love the performance and handling of the mini. In addition it gets great gas mileage. The interior is comfortable and controls are relatively convenient and functional. Reliability is ok but be prepared after warranty is over for a fair amount of minor problems.

Fastest car around for affordable prices!
While the mini cooper is a great car, drives smooth, and has great gas mileage, it has a lot of problems. Maintenance is one of the biggest issues because of how expensive it gets to be compared to others cars. Besides the high maintaining price, it really is a great car.

Big Miles, Small Car- Mini Cooper Clubman can endure it all
I frequently travel to Canada, which is for me a 18 hour trip by car. My Mini Cooper Clubman has the endurance to face it all! The gas mileage is incredible, and the brakes are wonderful for the stop-and-go traffic that's always on I-95. Whenever I go on long road trips with my colleagues, we always use my car. It simply is the safest option for all of us.

Fun to drive with power to spare and phenomenal control.
Repairs are expensive. Fun to drive. Fair amount of repairs. Love the power and the cornering. It is great for the hills and curves of Branson Missouri. Repairs include catalytic converter, door handle, the turbo. It has never lost the fun or excitement after eight years.

Very easy to handle. The size makes it fun to drive and actually makes me feel very safe.
It is an older car, so it doesn't drive quite as well as a new car of course, and i've had to put in some money to fix a lot of its problems.

It's a very fun and zippy little car.
This car is fun to drive especially the manual transmission model. I've been in a wreck in one of these cars and it handled like a champ and kept me safe. I have done some aftermarket modifications and the car is hard to work on if you do not know what you're doing. It's a quick and zippy little car that I enjoy to drive a lot. Expensive to maintain but it's also worth it. If you know what your doing with cars these are fun little project cars. This car has been a blast to drive and it has minor details that you can appreciate. The interior is well designed and has so many fun things inside like a hidden compartment and what not and just little things like that. Put 92 octane gas in it it'll make the car run better and for a longer period of time. The reliability of this car is great as it's never let me down. I think that it's a very sturdy car and a lot of people do not see the quality and do not appreciate the car for what it's worth. I really love this car as I have had no issues and I have had a lot of fun in the car and it can really go anywhere it's like a stock rally cross car that you didn't know could handle like one. So overall I think this car is great it is expensive and resale value is high and do not get one with a n14 engine in it.

Unique compact and stylish. Provides great gas mileage and other features.
I like how small and compact the mini is. Having the clubmen is also nice as the extra storage is always needed. More leg room for the people in the back.

It is bigger than you think.
Fun to drive. Quick pick up. Easy to park in the city. Hard to drive up a steep mountain. Hard to see stoplights without sliding down.

Pros and cons of the mini cooper clubman.
It is very fun to drive. The fuel efficiency is definitely something that I like. It is luxurious and there is a lot more room inside than you would think. It drives well in all conditions except for heavy snow. It has a lot more storage than you would think. There is a leak in the back door that was fixed in later models. The heated seats work very well as does the HVAC. The xenon headlights are amazing at night.

Good purchase, great on gas.
The car handles great and is fun to drive. It is super easy to park due to the size and is bigger inside than it looks. Handles large grocery orders with no problem. Very inexpensive on gas but does require premium gas in order to run efficiently. Repair costs are substantially more than an average car due to the foreign make so be prepared for the extra cost! A simple battery is on average an extra $75 simply due to the size constraints in the engine compartment. In general a great purchase.

Love my mini cooper. I love the color, great on gas, and fun to drive.
I love that it gets great gas mileage, easy to maneuver in and out of traffic, it fits into most spaces especially when we travel and you have to park in a garage with low ceilings, easy to keep up with the normal maintenance, due to major road repairs I have had to replace tires and rims that were damaged, the local BMW shop provide a rental which is truly appreciated and enjoyed when they fix or repair my car without inconveniencing me and my family.

Fun little car, disco lights.
It is pretty fun. There's lots of room, with the back seats down small furniture fits easily in the back doors. The windshield is low, so signal lights can be hard to see. Inside are some groovy ambient lighting. It can pulse through different colors or be set to just one shade. Downside is they can reflect in the center console at night.
