I've been very impressed with the drivablity of the Mini. I drove a Miata for years and thought that no other car would make me as happy as my Miata did, but I was wrong! It is a completely different drive from the Miata, but just as fun!

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.

It's down right crazy. The handling is nimble, the performance from a 1.6 liter twin scroll turbo is unbelievable. Personally I am going to get the JCW kit. Service is classic BMW. Best first car possible!!! 17in run-flats are expensive and give a slight rough ride but they provide peace of mind and good grip for a daily commute.

Brings a smile to your face every time you drive this car. Awesome power in a tiny package. Great around the city. Fits in the tiniest parking spots. Good fuel economy. 0-60 in 6.2 seconds without the sports mode.

This car is probably one of the greatest power to weight ratios of any car I've driven. The handling and braking are great. Having the turbo really gets that car out and onto the interstate quickly.
