Dealer maintenance is minimal.

I like the ease of use and driving experience. Size of car works well for day to day errands. Gas mileage saved is a plus for in city driving.

Alexandria G

It maneuvers extremely well in all kinds of traffic.

I simply love this car! I have only had 2 in my life, but plan to make it my forever car. It is a small convertible car with many amenities! It had an undesirable reputation, but now it has warranty forever plans, which you can purchase along with your car. Such a wonderful idea!

Mini cooper convertible with Highgate package.

This is my third mini cooper convertible, and I love it. The model I own right now had a special, limited-run Highgate package, which includes a unique iced chocolate metallic paint, along with a brown soft top and special black/brown hood stripes. There are small Highgate badges on the car's front fenders. Inside the car, there are dark truffle leather seats featuring light-blue piping, Highgate logos on the door sills and seats.

Mini cooper s, comfortable and reliable.

It performs very well and goes really fast even though I have had many issues with my back tires who keep running low on pressure. For the driver and passenger seat its is very comfortable however the backseat area is very tight. Furthermore, the trunk is really small.

Fun to own, and the gas mileage is amazing. A great vehicle.

I have owned two MINI Coopers and both I have enjoyed. However my first was a 2005 and had a lot of mechanical problems. MINI has seemed to really up their reliability has my 2014 has been a dream. The handling is great, the interior is solid and I have not had any mechanical issues. The service at MINI has also been exceptional. The gas mileage you can not beat and car is very fun to drive.

It's a beautiful car and you won't regret owning one.

Steering is very good and gas mileage is excellent. Since it's a smaller car, it can fit into many smaller parking spots. Placement of seatbelt is a bit off, but minor issue.

Britton D

The car is very cute and fast.

I love how small my car. I love how fast the cars. I hate how long it takes to heat up. I do not like how loud the car.

Rick B

It is sturdy and strong and will compare to anything out there.

Love the size and maneuvering. Love the style and mileage. Dislike no roof rack. Very happy with the monthly payment and service plan.

It's fast and 3 dollars will last you a week or so in gas

It's easy on gas and you should have tao tao or scooter brands in there cause i can't find my vehicle in your list of options

Laura H

It's a cute car overall. It's quick and fun to drive.

You hear a lot of road noise when driving. The dash rattles a lot when going a higher speed. The seats aren't the best for comfort.

Cody C

Gray for commuting and parking

A lot of mechanical issues and not enough space for anyone of 6ft. I have had the car for almost 7 years and have spent more that I would ever like to keep the car running. It feels like almost every five to six months something happens to my car and I end up wasting money on the car.

Rachelle O

Cute and fun to drive but a series of problems.

It started out being a really good car but recently it has started to have a lot of problems the tires do not seem to wear very well maybe it has something to do with the rims or the thickness but we've had to replace two tires we've only had the car for a year. It also has drivetrain issues. There's a lot of road noise and it clunks and knocks a lot which makes me think that the shocks and struts are not very good quality.

Overall, I love my car but wish the Bluetooth do not disconnect at the time.

I have a iPhone holder and I do not use charger to charge my phone anymore, I wish my car has a feature that help me with this issue. Overall, everything is good, but I do mainly use my phone as GPS more than the car GPS. I think that the car GPS takes longer time to input the information. GPS always frustrated me.

2014 mini cooper review!

It is a nice, stylish car and drives very nice. It is very small do it gets pretty crammed, and it gets messy quickly as there is not much space for storage. Mines gone 50,000 miles with no huge problems, except some wear and tear such as the emblems falling off and bumper rusting.

Pros from Owners

Keyla J.

It is the perfect fit for me and my daily routine. Helps me parking in small spaces and move easily through the city. It is a comfortable car to drive and fits just the right amount of people in it to make the trips comfortable too. I recommend it to everyone who enjoys driving.

Lori M.

The MINI Cooper Roadster S (6 speed manual) is a sporty looking 2 seater with convertible top. It is super fast and fun to drive! Gets great gas mileage; has lots of extra features like seat heaters; huge trunk space for a small car! Cool pass through door from inside to trunk. It also handles extremely well on the road!

Jessica S.

Very smooth ride. Good for city driving or Sunday fun cruise through towns/cities. Easy to clean inside and out. Sense of community among other MINI drivers. Very easy to park in small spaces. Parallel is never an issue.

Cons from Owners

Keyla J.

You can fit just 4 people in it, if you need to take luggages in, is not that comfortable. You need to use the most expensive gas otherwise it will not work in it is best. But in general I can find more pros than cons to this special kind of car.

Lori M.

Since it is a 2 seater, I can only carry one passenger (but that can also be a pro). I always park far from a store door away from other cars to make it easier to see to pull out. However, I have found that huge trucks and SUVs like to park right beside me making it difficult to see around. That is really the only con I can think of; it is such a supercar!

Jessica S.

Upkeep is expensive. Needs a certain type of oil which it will still burn through pretty quickly. Would not recommend as an every day drive or for road trips. Can feel small with 4 passengers inside. Sometimes people cannot see you merging due to its size so not the best for highway driving.
