    Sweet Ride — 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

    Mini- Greatest Car Ever. — This makes my second MINI. My last one was a 2003 Cooper S... I was hesitant at first about going to a turbo as opposed to a supercharger. BUT... It's great, there's no comparison between the two. Better fuel economy, little more room... it's GREAT. I plan on getting a few upgrades to it, as soon as I'm finished shopping for them all.

    Pros: Great gas mileage, modern yet nostalgic look, EXCELLENT performance

    Cons: A few blind spots

    Back To A Mini — 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...

    The Original Mini Was Better. — Sucks to drive, tacky, hard to see out of with the top up, and very noisy inside. Also the folding roof severely reduces rear passenger and rear trunk space. Very expensive for what you get.

    Pros: Looks "Retro"

    Cons: Looks "Retro", tacky interior styling, bad handling, mediocre performance, horrible rear
    visibility, bad mileage, very noise interior

    This Is A Fun Way To Save Gas!!! — This is a little sports car hidden in a unique little box... It's kinda Herbie goes to Europe or something... it runs great has many features of a true luxury car and will leave a few dollars in your pocket to actually get in to the movies when you get there...maybe get some popcorn

    Pros: Fun

    Cons: i can't afford two of them

    Gr8t Fun Machine — It's Mini, with maxi performance. Good handling, and with the S you can go and have fun. With me being tall, I'm surprised how well I actually fit into this bundle of fun (just don't sit behind me)

    Pros: Its a fun machine!

    Cons: Umm, nope. None that I can think to list

    Fun To Drive For Its Size — The acceleration and handling is awesome for the size of the car. Parking would not be a problem. The ride is pretty sporty, feels like you're driving inside an R/C car, but its def. fun to drive.

    Pros: Its MINI =D interior is very sporty

    Cons: Handling is a bit loose, acceleration reaction time is slow to my taste.
