This car has a very special place in my heart. The handling is just superb. Mine is plane stock, nothing extra on it, and it handles like a go cart, much much better anything else in the same pricerange. I have been going to trackdays with it, and its so easy to read. Very easy to go very fast around the bends. Acceleration and top speed is better than I had hoped for, esspecially when you consider that it only has 115 BHP and it still does 6.2L/100 KM when outside of the city, in the winter it only does 9.2L/100km in the city. The looks is better than the new new mini, the hood is much nicer with the bigger curves. But the build quality is not the best. No the typical BMW standart. The mark.II mini is much better build. I had it from new, and it still gives me a smile on my libs. My girlfriend loves it for the looks and the handling. I changed the gearbox, the generator, a computercontrolbox. All under warranty. Oh, yes and the servo pump as well. This is not okay for a new car. The price is a lot here in Denmark, actually is over the top. Very pricy. But still, this is the best money ever spend for me!!

If you are thinking about buying one of these cars buy the S model. For a little bit more money you gain more option choices,and more horse power. Overall I love my car, and it is if we have our own little group in the world. I haven't met anyone driving a Mini that isn't nice, and ready at the drop of a hat, to talk about their car.

I love the fuel economy, I love it on twisty country roads, and it is great to park. I also like the color of the rims and the upgraded sound system. Acceleration is good but I would like to put an air intake, chip, and new exhaust on it. Even without that the car is a hoot to drive, good on gas, and plenty of room for three people...I am 6'7". Braking is sufficient so no complaints there. I always feel safe and in control driving it! Torque steer is almost unnoticeable. Undetectable in normal driving. The build quality is decent but there are a few pieces of plastic that tend to make noise.

Love this little curve huger! Great performance and handling! You cant beat the looks of the Mini either! the fun factor is 100% amazing thats for sure! you get a lot of looks in these little cars no doubt. Love it.

great performance, fast acceleration, high top speed. Unbeatable build quality, no squeaks or rattles. Absolutely gorgeous, one of the most unique looking cars i've owned. Gas mileage is also unbeatable, on the highway i can get any from 40 and up, low maintenance. Overall the most fun car i've ever driven. besides my dads 911.
