ProsCute, British and unbelievably fun to drive, oh and it's made by BMW. ConsCostly, too many options (speccing it up can take years!) and the suspension/dampers are a bit stiff.

Much, Much Better Than My Previous 206!! — Hard to say that I love it. First, because I'm not sure it's very healthy to LOVE a car, and second because the accelerations are not ... as thrilling as I hope they would have been. On the other hand, it handles like a dream. I've got the ESP (an optional extra, so shame on you BMW) and no matter the weather conditions, you can hammer it as much as you want. It weighs about the same as the 206 I had before, but my God it handles better! You are always looking for twisty roads just to enjoy the perfect steering, the way the car moves under braking and then the way it balances itself when you get back on the throttle! Sure, it is a bit thirsty, and costly, and I wish it had more power, and yes, the ride can be harsh on a bumpy surface, but just look at it! So cute and there's this "so British" touch that I love. |

2005 MINI Cooper Convertible Review
ProsFun, fun, fun! Nothing better than being able to put the top down (which is not manual), and driving the country back-roads. ConsLike so many of its brethren, the car had some minor issues, like the power steering assist going out while driving on a country road (surprise!) and the convertible roof didn't want to go up one day. All those things were repaired and we resumed having fun again. Recently the head warped and sent the temperature gauge to its limits. We have 2 cars already and cannot afford to thoroughly repair this Mini Cooper, which for us means replacing the engine. We would like to see it become someone's project car, someone who would replace the engine and put this fun little Mini back on the road again.

We Had Fun ! (that's Why She Bought It!) — Great gas mileage and loads of fun being able to put the top down anytime (mechanically, too, not manually!). The car handles best on a country back-road or on mountain roads where it really shines as the ideal automobile for those roads. Primary Use: Family transportation |

Mini Cooper Bmw R50 — It goes fast, it stops better, handles like a go-kart. Just like the classic. Build quality is actually decent...the drive train system however is pony. It's a definite head turner (which always helps when pickin up a head GIVER ;D ) Petrol is too expensive now but 500 miles on 70 GBP per tank, you can't complain... Possibly one of the best cars I'll ever own as a fun car. The mini never loses charm Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

05 Cooper S — No problems at all in 55,000 Km. The only time it sees the workshop is for oil changes and other regular maintenance. Drove it to fourth in group in this years CSSC Solo Sprint at Race City, drove it last winter in Autocross - the car gets driven hard and nothing has broken! |
