Costs of maintenance can be high if you are not doing them yourself or are unable to bring your own parts to a shop for replacement or repair. 2nd gen model can have issues of when oil light comes on it is already too late. The bluetooth link from cell phones to in car speakers are not effective as it is hard to hear over road/highway noise.

0/10 would not recommend to anyone.
Very expensive to maintain and keep up with, bad gas mileage, very small. Does not accelerate fast enough makes it hard to merge on the freeways. Oil changes are about $120 and any time I have a mechanical problem it is upwards of $4k. Not worth what it is I have put more money into fixing it than what the car is worth.

Mini cooper s: small gar, great ride.
My car has been very reliable. I have had it for about four years and have had very few problems other than the standard maintenance. It rides very smooth and has unique features to a lot of cars, like the speedometer being on the center dashboard. My main complaints are the cost of gas, as it requires premium gas. However, the gas mileage is very good, especially on highways and interstates. It is also very small, which is very apparent if you have another car you drive regularly. I struggle to fit large things in it, and the size is not great for road trips with more than two people or with animals.

Very unique and cute car!
Yes, the mini cooper is a good subcompact car. It comes in three body styles – the two- and four-door mini hardtop and the mini convertible – and it is fun to drive thanks to its punchy engines and adept handling. From the mini John Cooper works to mini hardtops, mini is indeed a luxury brand.... This is what makes mini a luxury car. It is fun to drive with a powerful engine and exciting design.

It is a great car and you should buy it.
The car is great, I really love this car. I do not have any issues with it- it requires minimal stuff. I think more people should have this car. And I feel like people are missing out on a car like mine, it is spacious, snug, and cute. I love it. It is great.

The 2013 mini cooper: full review.
Very small, compact car good for tight parking spots. It is a pretty cool luxury car, and I really like the style of it. One concern I have is the bumpiness that I experience when riding in the vehicle. Although this feature has been implemented in further versions, I wish that it was fixed in the last ones.

The mini coop is small and can fit into tight spaces.
The right side passenger door handle started falling off so I tried to take it apart and fix the door. I couldn't put it back together correctly, so now the door will not go on right therefore it doesn't open by passenger from outside. It can only be unlocked from the inside by pulling on the handle.

It is the best little car ever and I freaking love it! Mini coopers rock!
I absolutely love my car. It fits me perfectly. The gas mileage is freaking amazing! It is comfortable. It is fun to drive. The only problems I have had with it is needing to replace the coils. I also had to get new brakes/tires after several lengthy road trips. I have already told my husband when it is time for me to get a new car, I will simply get a newer model of the same car. I am short and petite and this car just fits me. I do not need a lot of room, my kids are grown. I can still haul a good amount if I need to. When I do big shopping like Costco I say, “time to play tetris”. It is the best little car ever, in my opinion.
Sandy W

I get great miles to the gallon. Can go about 2 weeks before filling up.
I get great gas mileage. I love the size. . Can park easily. Love that I can only carry 2 people. Great trunk space. Don't like the unlock system for getting into the trunk when I am on the outside of car.

on February 14, 2021
I love my mini cooper totally worth it.
A mini cooper is really great but it is hard to find the car parts, most of the time you have to order it online. Their car parts are expensive and sometimes hard to find. Also not all mechanics are familiar with the mini coopers. When you change the filter or do other things it has to have specifically its original part and not a copy.

Mini cooper: great for everyday living.
After a few years of driving it, the car began to make a weird sound. There was also an issue where the car would suddenly stop running as you were driving it. Then start up again after a few minutes of rest. Other than those issues the car is an even drive. Perfect size for commuting to and from places.
Sloane M
on January 31, 2021
Vehicle review: mini cooper.
The vehicle is reliable as long as you keep up with basic oil changes. Due to the compact nature of the car you cannot change your own oil you have to take it to a shop which has the filter size to fit mini specifically which can be pretty pricey. But overall is fun and dependable.
Nad H
on January 27, 2021
Mini is the best car if you live in the city and need to park on the street!
I love my mini because it is reliable, saves me money on gas, runs pretty good and has a sports mode, easier to park than other since it is smaller and can fit on smaller spots, has good options like leather seats and seat heaters. I also love the space of the trunk, even if the car is small, the trunk is quite big and fits about two suitcases. I haven't had any engine issues in the last 4 years I had it. Changing the tire was so easy because it has small tires. It is the perfect car for new drivers.
Linda S
on January 23, 2021
The mini is very cute and fun to drive. I live in an area with curvy roads and the mini handles well. I do not like the expensive repair bills.
It appears to be small and fragile, but is very safe according to crash tests.

2013 mini cooper-changed how I drive.
Love how smooth it drives. The thing that bums me out the most is how expensive it is to afford things like gas and an oil change. It takes premium gas and synthetic oil. I also love how low to the ground it is, although that is just a personal opinion.
Jo M
on January 13, 2021
Great car: five out of five stars!
I love my mini cooper. It is fast, reliable, has a lovely interior, and gets awesome gas mileage. The car has a sports mode that makes it drive even faster and smoother. The only complaint is road noise when driving on the highway. All in all, it is a great car and I would recommend.

That is a gas saver, easy to parked. Not too expensive
I like the car it saves energy, is easy to find parking, is compact. Gas is a saver, eve though is recommend for the most expensive to use
Howard T
on January 6, 2021
This brand products very intelligent cars in terms of design and included features but they are very expensive to repair when things go wrong the same way BMW, the owner of Mini Cooper and Mercedes are.
I love the twelve foot length and slightly more than five foot width because it is a dream to park this car anywhere and at 3000 pounds it is also extremely steady on the road. I hate the maintenance costs after 4 years and do not believe things like the front suspension, battery, and exhaust pipe should have failed early in year five with less than 30,000 miles on the car.

We need to make fun! Part of our lives.
My neighbor told me one day that every time she sees me in my mini I am smiling. When I think about that it makes me happy. I love my car on so many levels, but because it is fun! Is right there at the top of my list. Do wish it has heated seats in it though. My last car did and I got spoiled without realizing it was happening.
Joseph D

A fun, cool, reliable ride.
I have had my 2013 mini cooper for a little over two years now. This car has been so much more reliable than I thought it would be when I initially purchased it. In addition, it is a ton of fun to drive. So much so that it is become more of my primary driver when my original intention was to use it as a secondary driver. The only downside I have experienced in my time with this car would be the overly sensitive sensors. I have had to manually reset my tire pressure sensors a couple times.
Courtney S

My mini cooper is super cute, jam packed with personality, and so easy to drive!
I love how sporty it is. Very small, but I enjoy a smaller car. Backseat is very small, but it is a 2 door so that is expected. I love being able to zip around no matter what I do. Also love showing off the speed to friends when the time calls for it.
Jason S

I like its design. But the price is a little bit expensive compared with other vehicles. Also, the car is not that comfortable to drive in.
Even though price is high, size is small, MINI is cute.

Fun and nimble vehicle. Not a luxury car.
Fun car to drive. Great handling. Low to the ground. Difficult to get in and out of. Seat belt always strangles me. Really nimble car and responds well. Great on switchbacks and steep roads. Can get uncomfortable on long drives. Have driven from Southern California to Sedona Arizona. As well as to Las Vegas and many other places in central California. Trunk is good size. Tight if you are tall. I am 5’4” so I fit great!

A comfortable car for all: quaint 2013 mini cooper s.
Growing up I have always been around mini vehicles, so I have experienced the heads and tails of the coin. The car I own has had it is fair share of issues; transmission needed the be replaced, air filters needed to be changed a few times before it decided to actually work, but ultimately it worked in the end. Overall, this is a wonderful car, very comfortable and easy to drive. The inside is cozy (though your taller friends may not agree), and the seats are perfect. Interior-wise I have always found minis aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Mighty mini perfect in big city!
Living in Los Angeles, the mini cooper has been the best vehicle. Maintenance has been super easy in the 2 years that I have owned the car. I have never had any major issues or complaints! I would highly recommend this car to anyone. As long as you do not live up north - not good for snow.
Gretchen K
on November 6, 2020
It's bigger than it looks – many think it's tiny but looks are deceiving.
Compact car that is easy to park and drive without much hassle. I dislike that the key can't stay in without pressing the Start button before it flashes a battery warning at me. However, it has a variety of features and warnings to alert me to car troubles earlier than my other car.
Jim M

Good car fast and very fuel efficient. Fun to drive.
Good car but somewhat expensive to service. Good performance and gas mileage of 37 mpg. Car requires premium gas. Car features a sport mode that makes the car faster and fun to drive. The car is very small inside. There are back seats but they are very uncomfortable.
Karen O
on October 6, 2020
When you turn the car on there are colored lights that flash and change color.
It is a fun car to drive. I wish it had an arm rest as I have shoulder issues. I do not like that to play podcasts I have to have a special widget that allows me to plug in charger and aux cord as it does not recognize an iPhone as acceptable to play just through the Bluetooth. My next car will have built in GPS and Bluetooth.
Melissa S
on September 27, 2020
Stylish, economical, reliable and roomier than it appears.
The only issue I have with my Mini Cooper is I have to lock my door on the driver side. It is a little inconvenient sometimes when I have groceries and I have to unload them and then go over to the driver side to lock the door. Otherwise it is perfect.
Randy M
on September 20, 2020
Overall fun car to drive!
Great car to maneuver through la streets. Fuel efficiency is great. It may seem tiny but I am 5 foot 10 inches tall and this vehicle certainly has plenty of room for 3 other adults. I highly recommend s model if you enjoy speed and to help push through traffic.
Alex G

Great car for students/young people.
Mini cooper is a great car for students/young people. Not too many problems with the car, other than normal wear and tear with tires, brakes, etc. It performs really well, sport mode is noticeably different and has a kick to it. Very reliable, still has not broken down on me. The comfort is lacking, as with most mini coopers. The back seat can fit 2 people, but since I am a tall male, people who usually sit behind me have a very uncomfortable ride. The front seats, however, are very comfortable. The double sunroof feature is really nice.
Pam W

You can park almost anywhere.
This is my second mini. My first was totaled and I am okay, but I love this car so much and felt it was solid that I bought another. Maintenance is expensive so get a plan. This car is fun and you will not be asked to move furniture! Every day I look forward to driving.
Noriko S

My cute mini is small but offers spacious and comfortable inside.
I cannot think of any problems I had with my vehicle. It is very comfortable and reliable for sure. It is a small car so it is very easy to maneuver and it can fit in a tight parking spot. The design is very cute and unique. Even though it is small, the inside is rather spacious and the hatchback makes it easy to put large items such as luggage and boxes. The performance of the car is outstanding.

Young fun and free mini cooper.
Fast, reliable, no issues, low fees on maintenance, easy to drive, low to the floor, fun to drive, no convertible problems, good on gas, no day to day issues, able to use everyday, the inside is customizable, colored lights included in the car, seats are comfortable, trunk is small, only 2 seats.

I love my mini and do not have any negative things to say about it.
My mini has lots of get up and go. I get around thirty miles per gallon mileage. It has a great turn ratio. It is very easy to park. There is a lot more room in it than it looks like, when the seats are down. It has additional storage in another area in the trunk.

Red and black Mini Cooper coupe 2013
It's very basic but I love it. It's small yet it still feels roomy and comfortable. It has a radio and a slot for CDs. The gas mileage is great, it is about 33 miles per gallon. The back seats fold down so there is extra room. Would be nice to have better suspension so potholes don't feel like they're wrecking my car.
Nicole A
on August 2, 2020
Love the size, it fits in small spaces
Runs well, reliable; Have taken it across the state. Service work is more expensive than your average car. Fits in small spaces, especially great for city living. I have really enjoyed the seats going down in the bag, you can load up lots especially for camping.

Small car great performance.
Great comfort, even though it is a small car is very comfortable. Very classy and elegant, great car for women. Very good gas saver. I would not change it for any other car. Never had any performance problems. If you in the market for a small car this is a perfect choice.

Mini cooper strength and weakness review.
Car spare parts is expensive, need a lot of repair after 5 years used, turbo mode is the best experience ever. This car is very stable in the windy situation and it is gasoline consumption is lower compared to other cars. The only weakness is this car is only suitable for two people maximum.

My vehicle is a light blue mini cooper and has held up very well.
My vehicle has great gas mileage and drives smoothly. The only problems I have encountered were due to flat tires and the belt coming loose, all of those problems were easy to fix. It is expensive to maintain everything. The last time I got it inspected I had to pay a couple hundred. It drives well in bad weather except it will occasionally get stuck in snow if there's over 6 inches. I love the color of my car and the fact that I do not have to spend much money on gas each month.

42 MPG overall and a blast to drive. It is very distinctive and easy to pick out in a crowd.

Mini Coopers are great cars!
I really like my car. It runs well on gas, and it's very reliable. I get an oil change about every 6 months depending on how much mileage I use. The car gives updates on what needs to be fixed or maintenance. It is very comfortable because I am a small person and my car is just the right size for me. For someone who is taller, the sit goes far back so you'll be fine as well. The only issue is that the car is very low to the ground so depending on where you live, the front of the car may get scratched.

Mini cooper first review.
The vehicle is small but good on gas. The front is spacious however the back is basically non existent. Not comfortable for long riding situations. It is quick, but takes a few seconds to come to speed. The leather trim is nice and the windows are nice and big. I love the moonroof.
Asia F
on April 4, 2020
It looks small but it can hold anything you need! The regular trunk is perfect for groceries without it moving around. Once you fold down the seats, it's like an SUV.
I like that it is small and compact. It is easy to park in the city. It fits into our 2 car garage easily without blocking the washer and dryer. It is fast and fun to drive, and can hold a lot in the trunk.

You will spend a lot on repairs and it probably won't be worth it for you to try to do them yourself.
It's the nicest/newest car I have ever owned. I don't like how expensive it is to repair it. Also, there's no haynes manual out for it yet and since it's so compact it's difficult to work on yourself.

A lot of fun! A lot of maintenance! All totally worth it!
My car has hit basic maintenance needs such as new spark plugs. I have had issues with who can change my oil. I have had issues with a crack in my windshield that came out of nowhere, meaning my whole windshield had to be replaced. I have had to replace my tires 2 times in the course of 30, 000 miles with no clear reason. Nothing seems to be wrong with the tires or alignment and I rotate them regularly.

2013 mini cooper s jcw, cherry red.
She is a very fast and reactive car. My car is very responsive and is like a supercharged go kart and is very fun to drive. It is standard and was tricky to learn but is fun nonetheless. There are only a few problems that tend to happen, being that the airbag reader tends to read the wrong thing.

I love that the car's interior lighting can change colors with a button.
My mini cooper four door hardtop vehicle runs extremely well and I rarely have any issues. The steering wheel is a bit rigid and the driving is not very smooth. It feels like it runs more like a large go-kart than a vehicle. Despite it is small size, the interior feel large and comfortably fits a group of five people.

Mini cooper will not leave you feeling cooped up.
My mini coopers is a perfect car for zipping around the city or along the coast for a weekend getaway. Parking is extremely easy with it is small, compact size. I have long legs and am quite tall but the driver's seat is surprisingly spacious and comfortable. If you haul a lot of stuff or people, you may want a larger vehicle as storage space is limited. The engine is sensitive so maintenance is key.

Mini cooper ratings and complements
My vehicle is great. It is reliable and gets great gas mileage. I have had to replace the tires which are expensive. The brakes have also been replaced. I don't have any other problems. The mini cooper convertible is turbo and is very comfortable. The features on the car are fun. I have a fundometer. That is when you let the top down and it is fun.

There are lights that come built into the car that you can change colors.
Since mini coopers are so low to the ground it bottoms out a lot and it makes getting into the driveway hard. I like how smooth it is and the look of all of the features in the car, although they are placed very differently than other cars. Other than that it a very cute, reliable car that I love driving.

I enjoy driving with the top down on a nice day. It makes very fun.

Praise for mini coopers: overall features.
This is a wonderful car! Mini coopers are small but do everything you need. There is plenty of legroom in the front for the driver and passenger seat. Slightly cramped in the back seat but not terrible! The size of the vehicle makes parking easy to find and maneuver. Mini coopers are a unique and adorable vehicle. They have a good size gas tank and get very reasonable gas mileage.

Great gas mileage, fun to drive, and it is a really good recognizable car. People will often come up to me and ask me about my car.
I like that my primary vehicle is compact and yet large enough to help me get through my day-to-day activities. I also like that the car is fun to drive and sporty, as well as the fact that the car is offered in a standard/manual transmission. My only complaint is that it is sometimes too small of a car for longer trips or for transporting things like furniture, but this is easily overcome by asking for the assistance of a friend or family member.

Minis are the best compact vehicle out there
Very reliable. It has great gas mileage and handling. It is compact without being too small. Seats can fold down for extra room. Very customizable exterior. The pistons on my car went out before 50,000 miles but I think that was just a fluke, not something common with Minis. My only complaint is that since it is the base car, the suspension is very basic as well. Anytime I go over a speed bump or hit a dip in the road, you definitely feel it.
Mary M

Makes me smile whenever I drive.
I adore my little vehicle. Every time I drive her I find myself smiling. She makes me happy. I find that I get amazing gas mileage as I drive whenever and wherever I decide to go. I have owned my mini since 2015 and the maintenance has been below the average, I did put new tires on, and have done my routine tune ups and oil changes but that has been the extent of it. Comfort and reliability are amazing. I am a very happy mini driver.
Alex W
on October 12, 2019
Great style, amazing interior, fun car!
The comfort of this cooper is great, really spacious for just an individual or small family. The interior is nicely made and looks rich. This car drives smoothly, but sometimes has a kick back when driving after a stop, for example after stopping at a stop sign. Everything mechanically works great. We did have a problem with the horn, which we ended up having to get fixed before inspection. Other than that, there have been no other problems and we have owned this car for about 3 years. It was used when we bought it and still works great.

Perfect car for a city. I can find parking easily; my car is compact and convenient and is so cute.

That it's a manual transmission.
I like that it's small, so it gets good fuel mileage. But, being small means I can't transport a lot. I like that it's manual, except when I'm in traffic.

Love my mini, a few minor reasons I could love it more.
I love my mini, my only complaint would be the electronics. They are very sensitive and often go off. It does cost a bit more for repairs.

Great vehicle for great people.
It gets great gas mileage and works beautifully. The leather seats are comfortable and do not get too hot in the sun. There's a sunroof that opens in the front and the back seat and the back seats fold down to make the hatchback larger for larger items.

I do not have any issues with my car. I absolutely love how small and cute it is and the gas mileage is definitely amazing.
Do not try and over use the sport mode, it will wear off the tread of your tires faster.

It is the perfect car to park anywhere since it is so tiny!
The engine has had problems over the past two years. Last year I had to get my spark plugs replaced, even though it is a fairly new car. I had to get them replaced again this year as I was having the same problems. Other than that, it has been a great car!

I have a baby blue 2013 mini cooper with beige and white interior.
I absolutely love my mini, I have only had one mechanical problem and that was a misfiring spark plug. Mini's are known for costing a lot of money because of maintenance issues but mine has been great. I have had it for 2 years and have taken many road trips with no problem.

Fun car, expensive repairs/maintenance.
Problems are thermostat replacement, coils and spark plugs have been replaced multiple times, gearbox vent pipe came off and was just floating around in the engine, expensive maintenance. I love how it takes turns has excellent handling and it actually a pretty quick car if you get the turbo version which makes it even more fun to drive.

It handles quite well in bad weather.
I like the fact that it is a manual transmission. It seems that the headlights burn out way to fast in my mind.

Vehicle Mini Cooper summary.
I love my Mini Cooper hatchback. Comfortable seats, great instrumentation, and amazing gas mileage. The fold down back seat provides the capability to transport a considerable amount. The car is very peppy. The only comment the car can burn oil a bit more frequently than other types of vehicles although does not cause serious issues.

Comfort to drive and it easy to maneuver into smaller parking areas/garages.
I love how it drives. It handles well and the turn radius is great. It is easy to parallel park. It is a manual transmission and it is so much fun to drive.

Parts and servicing cost a lot with this car if you go through the authorized agents
The car is trendy and cool. However it isn't very practical. It also isn't very fast. Parts for it tend to be expensive

2013 mini cooper is great!
I really love my mini cooper! My first mini cooper was a red 2006 cooper s. I recently got my blue 2013 cooper as the previous one had issues with its engine from age, and she runs beautifully! I love the UI of the system, with my only complaint being that the acceleration can be a bit spotty at times. That could also be due to age, but the interface is fantastic, the mileage is nice, and the comfort is fantastic (the seat warmers are insane!).

Fun and fast little sporty car.
I love the look the way the car drives and the inside however I think that there are minor things about the car that I do not like. I do not like the volume does not show numbers or what level it is at you just have to go off of sound. The car also runs through oil very fast and requires the more expensive gas.
