2009 MINI Cooper Base Review
ProsFun, unique, high mpg, customizable, comfortable, fast. ConsBackseats are small even for a little person, fitting things in the trunk can be tricky.

Buy It. — Performance- The performance is amazing. Because the car weighs next to nothing, the little 4 cylinder can propel this car forward at a ridiculous rate. It also handles like a go-kart, there is a reason why this car was featured the way it is in The Italian Job. Build Quality- The car is built really well. Everything feels solid and there are no wonky plastic parts. Appearance- It looks like nothing on the road and with all the customization options, you can really make your MINI a unique car. The interior takes some getting used to but after using the car for a few weeks you will be able to use the controls blindfolded. Cost of Ownership- With a great maintenance program from BMW (who owns MINI) the cost of owning a MINI only boils down to tires and fuel. Unfortunately it runs on premium so your trips to the pump may be a little pricey. But considering it gets 40+ mpg, you wont be making those trips often. Fun factor- The MINI is so much fun. Both from a performance perspective and from a social perspective. Take a test drive to see what I mean about the performance. Socially you will experience a huge network of owners from all over the US. Primary Use: Commuting to work

The Best Of Choice That I've Ever Made. — Definitely fun to drive. Quick and nimble. Handles well and just enough power/torque. As for appearance, I still like the previous model with slight British look but the new holds its own. Feels truly like a go car with the top down. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

I Love This Car. It Is Fun To Drive, Well Made, And Safe. For A Personal Car, What Else Can You Ask? — This is a FUN car. Fit and finish is excellent, spunky with the performance of a sports car. It handles like a go-kart. In less than 1000 miles we have enjoyed over 24 hours of topdown fun !!! I insisted on the S with manual transmission. Otherwise it could be slightly sluggish. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsBigger than it looks inside, handling is fantastic, love the gas mileage- 40mpg+ (highway). Fits in small parking spaces, comfortable on long drives. ConsNeeds a little more power but that's what you get for this trim level.

Mini Rules — I would buy another MINI in a moment. Makes driving pleasurable, lots of complements, great value overall. It provides handling not know in an inexpensive compact. Dealer are fairly good -but would recommend local service instead. Spend a few bucks customizing - it's fun. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsSmall sports car, fast, reliable, no maintenance issues. Never had to take it to the shop except for the regular oil and car check. The car is perfect for anyone. ConsI had one low tire problem in the three years that I have had the car. Besides that nothing else.

Great Car! — There isn't anything that I did not like about this car. The only thing I regret is not getting the bluetooth installed. I would have loved it. I receive compliments about the vehicle from friends and strangers. They love it both men and woman. They compliment the rims on the vehicle, and the choice of black on black.
