It is small but it is a very safe car.

I wish that the windows were tinted. The interior is black and it gets very hot in the summer months. It looks small from the outside but it is very roomy and I have plenty of space.

Fun to drive Mini Cooper.

My 2017 Mini Cooper is fun to drive. The Mini Cooper has a 3 cylinder with a Turbo. The Mini Cooper has a sports mode that makes the car very responsive.

My Mini Cooper is not as tiny inside as it looks - plenty of room in there!

I love my 4 door Mini Cooper. It has a sunroof, moonroof, great audio, and hands free tech. I love the way it looks and the way it drives. I have no complaints.

The mini cooper is worth the money spent.

The timing chain can loosen prematurely, but the redesign has better noise isolation which makes for a better ride. The three-cylinder is powerful. It has surprisingly roomy front seats and quality cabin. I can get 28 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway.

The mini cooper is a great fun car.

It is fantastic. It is a blast to drive because it is very quick and fast, and it is also very nimble and agile. It looks great and has classic styling. It's a great size and its very easy to park, but it still has some cargo room. The seats are very comfortable and the tech is great.

Cute and perfect car for my needs! Even fits my two dogs perfectly.

I love my mini, it is my second one even though my first experience was horrible. It was an 09 so still semi British built and the engine blew. My current mini is amazing though great gas mileage and living in la it is the perfect size for parking. Would totally recommend!

I love my bright orange Mini Cooper.

My car is perfect for me. Its sporty and its adorable. Its my first car and it has become my child. I love the features on the middle screen and how I can choose the lighting colors. I get many comments on the looks and features. It drives so smooth and even has a sports mode. I also have the option to save gas. My car turns off when stopped and then starts up again as soon as I hit the gas!

The mini cooper is a very nice and fun to drive car.

It is a very nice car. The interior is very sleek and modern. It has a very clean feel. The seat heater feature works very well and heats up very fast. The a/c and heat also work very well. It has Bluetooth connectivity. It has a surprising amount of storage space in the trunk. The back seats can also fold down for extra space.

I love the new technology packages.

Mini is an amazing brand. I just feel like the f56 models are more of a car rather than a mini. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. There is not speedometer in the middle, the window switches were moved to the door. ( I like the toggle switches).

Pros & cons with 4th mini.

Less traction/safety in winter driving than previous minis I have owned. Bluetooth continues to disconnect on a daily basis. Enjoy convenience of 4 door model, and great visibility. Regular model now as good as s regarding acceleration, etc. A fan of interior design/display. Size allows for easy parking and maneuvering, and there is good gas mileage.

Mini cooper, a great car to own.

It comes in two-door and four-door model. You also have your choice of hardtop and convertible styles. The cooper has a punchy engine and adept handling which makes it fun to drive. The cabin is handsome and stylish and the technology is easy to use.

Mini’s are such a fun car, even where they've grown in size.

I love my f56. The f series minis are very reliable, unlike the generations before them. I have yet to have an issue with my car and I am pushing 80k on my 2017. This is one of three minis that I have owned and currently have two, the other being an f60 countryman, in which I haven't had any issues with that one, either. We're a big part of the mini community, we rally regularly and we, too, participate in all of the events that happen in the New England area. I highly recommend getting a mini, especially before they all go electric.
