Mini paceman - enjoy driving it.
I enjoy driving this vehicle. I have had it for about 5-6 years and still enjoy driving it daily. I have had few problems with it. My only complaint is that the back seat can be difficult to get to. Older individuals or those with pain or disabilities would likely find it hard to get in and out of the backseat.

Its sporty and fun to drive and looks good doing it.
Great driving feel like all minis, the way it hugs the road is wonderful. The interior is comfy and is good looking. The only complaint would be the radio and not being able to update to a newer version. It has just enough room for me and my 2 daughters and enough cargo space for all our stuff for trips.

It handles like a dream and can fit a 65 inch TV in it with room.
I like that it is all wheel drive. Simultaneously small but spacious. I dislike its gas mileage average, other than that I love it.

Mini cooper paceman fun to drive around the city and long road trips as well!
The mini is my primary work vehicle due to the great gas mileage. It has been driven across the United States and has good reliability. My favorite feature is the six speed manual transmission! It makes the car fun to drive. The seats are made of leather and they are comfortable. My problems with the car are the same problems I had with my previous mini, leaking gaskets. The gasket around the oil pan was replaced and I was told by my service manager that I will need to replace the valve gasket soon. Other than those two problems the vehicle has been fun to drive.

So far great car. Glad to own it.
So far I haven't had any problems with the vehicle. It has more power and performs better than I had expected for a 4 cylinder. Fuel mileage is great. Average about 30 miles to the gallon. Very comfortable as a daily driver and on long trips. Plenty of features for everyone.

Fun to drive and easy to maintain.
Fun to drive, easy to park, unique model that stands out amongst all the mini coopers in San Francisco, some features not as intuitive as other vehicles, gas mileage could be better, vehicle could be faster, tail lights are starting to crack and have moisture leakage into casing.

GMC its still cute and fits my style.
Does not accelerate fast enough and I do not like that in a car. There is no sunroof which I would love to have. The paint has started to chip off and I do not want to pay for that but I need to. The steering is not the easiest thing to do in that car but it is okay.
