Reviewing: 2008 MINI Cooper S

My Mini is awesome! I bought it cold-turkey before
our move to CA.  No, it does not have everything I wan
ted in a Mini (sunroon, more chrome etc..) but the
performance outshines all that.  My supercharged Mini
has gotten me out of many a tight spot and its
handling is superb-just like I was forewarned by other
Mini owners.  Brakes are extremely touchy-be careful!
feel like a much bigger car inside-at least in the front.   

Pros — Acceleration OMG!!, handling, braking, more room than u would expect....
Cons — Sunroof would have been nice, don't like the "fake leather"-too hot..

Performance is everything I had hoped it would be
and more.  Acceleration is plain wicked-has gotten
me out of some seriously tight spots, and I'm
astounded I haven't gotten a ticket.  This car will
hit 90MPH in a snap, esp. in "sport" mode.  Braking
is very sensitive so I tend to break too hard if I
haven't driven it all week.  Handing is insanely
wonderful...This car is also worth it for the gas
milage, ave. 30mpg.  So far no maintanence,
although it has developed a bit of an engine
click...All in all a seriously fun car to drive..beware
you'll develop an addiction for it...

Pros — Fast-you want to race people fast, incredible handling, gas milage,park anywhere u want
Cons — No fixing of tires-have to replace.

Looks nice and very nice to drive. Good mileage and maintenance...feels like your driving a go kart. The interior is nice but the exterior is even better. The only two negative things about the mini I would say are the price and also the amount of trunk space that it has

Pros — everything except price
Cons — price

CooperS.  It's the best car ever.  Our old one was supercharged, my new one is turbocharged.  Went with an automatic this time due to Phoenix  traffic.  Sport package though, so I do have the paddle shifters.  Drives like a rocket.  I'll say it again, it's the best car ever.  EVER!!

Pros — Fits in small spaces.  
Cons — Don't know of any...
