Joy Ride

If you want to feel young again buy an old Mini,you won’t regret it.I am proud of being the sole owner of my precious Mini Cooper S and won’t sell it for anything in the world. I’ll will enjoy it for the next twenty (20+) years.

Expensive repairs

I love mini coopers don’t get me wrong. But I have definitely put more into repairs than my car is actually worth. Some repairs because of manufacturing problems. So just be prepared to spend a lot more than you expected for this car.

Cutest Car Ever

Purchased used 12 years ago, it has its flaws, but I still love this car. Plan to keep it for many more years. Have never seen a car I like better. No regrets. It suits me just about perfectly. It's my baby.

2003 Mini Cooper S

I'm not a fan of the look of the Mini Cooper, but when I got in and test drove it, I was hooked. The performance and handling is excellent and I often get complements on it. Great car.

Great car when its great!

Fun, responsive, sophisticated "head turner" most of the time. BUT when things go bad, "oh my golly"... Everybody needs to review owners comments on the online forums about MINI problems. Finally just this week NHTSB got MINI to acknowledge ONE of many build failures and force corrective action of a recall by MINI. My Mini is going to experience too many problems as it ages. Good thing I have extended the protection plan for as long as possible, because gonna keep it for now.

Blueberry

I love my Mini. The upkeep is a little costly (esp. the "run-flat" tires, but I have never enjoyed driving any car (or truck) as much.
