I have the 50th anniversary Mayfair edition, Hot Chocolate with toffee leather interior and stripes/trim, 6 speed manual, 17" wheels, rally lights, heated seats, bluetooth etc.. If you have never driven a Cooper you would be surprized at the interior space. I am 6' tall and have trouble getting in and out of many small or low cars, but not this one. You'd think you were in a larger car. The best thing about this car is the handling, almost too much fun on back roads. Some are turned off by the higher prices of these cars compared to other small economy cars but you get what you pay for. Mini's out class any of the comperable small cars in terms of style and performance. Truly unique.

A blast to drive! When you own a MINI, you can't wait for the next curve. A lot of power in this JCW, the car feels very quick especially with the extra boost (sport mode). The other major improvement of the JCW over the regular Cooper S is the breaks, they are very powerful. Superb handling, great engine and breaking power....a little go kart just like we want a MINI to be.

So far, it has exceeded my expectations. I’m averaging 39mpg mixed use driving (44hwy). The fit and finish is better than I expected. For such a small car, the cockpit and front passenger areas are spacious. I’m 6’1” and have no complaints about getting in and out. It’s quick, handles well and has enough features to get by, even in the base model.

Personally I havent had any mechanical problems at all. Maybe Im just lucky but I love these cars! Theyre just the right size for me and peppy, fun to drive and a big plus, great on gas!!

My mini feels much larger inside than anticipated and has great "get-up-and-go." Tons of fun to drive, especially on long road trips. Economical gas mileage is expected in a small car, but usually not in cars that are this fun to drive.
