i've owned a lot of different cars and now at 65yo I have to say this is the most overall fun car I've had 2015 Countryman S. It's quick and nimble but very solid.
Totally Awesome!
Pros: It hugs the curves nicely and easy to handle.
Cons: Low profile is not so great on it during the winter months.
The Mini is a dream car, good gas mileage, sporty, and can even fit grown men in the back seat! Though it was funny watching them get out. If you put snow tires on, it handles the winter roads great.Over 400 miles to a tank of gas!!!
Pros: Free maintenance for the first 3 years!
Cons: could have a better stereo speakers
Love the milage I am getting commuting to and from work every day. I laugh all the way to the gas pump at all of the SUV's with one person driving. I love the free maintenance schedule that comes with the new vehicle.Cute but Hard
Pros: handling
Cons: ride
I fell in love with its looks and loved its handling. I learned to hate its hard ride. The non-synchromesh rear gear was a frequent irritation. It needed the 6-speed transmission that the new ones have.very gqqd
Pros: speed
Cons: they did not give me sup/brakes/w/works
my only complaint I got the works they for got to put on super brakes by the time I discovered that I did not have them 2 years had pass so I was a little piss off so I will not buy my next one there. iBaby
Pros: The overall gestalt of the thing.
Cons: Run flat tires are very expensive and don't wear too well - but certainly grip and go.
The MINI S is both way hot and way cool, a banger and a pleasure car, my truck for hauling (on the sturdy and cute roof rack and in the back (seats down). Good sound system, often playing very loud. Would be a chick magnet if I were 40 years younger, I think. Even so it's a head turner, and really impresses my grandkids. Seems very well made, solid and sturdy after six years with no problems. Handles as well as any car I've driven, including some fairly big guys. But hate the run flats. I'd trade some handling for high end conventional tires and a 'canned air' flat fixer.I have my dream car!! Love her!
Pros: Convertible sports car
Cons: No navigation or bluetooth
The first time I saw a Mini Cooper I wanted one. Never thought I would be able to get one. I love driving my mini. She has good pickup, and since I have a convertible, when I am stressed I put the top down and all my troubles blow away. I smile a lot these days.
