Such a great car.

I only drive a stick (since high school) and am a senior citizen. This car is fun and the upkeep is minimal. The Cooper allows room for my friends (the four door is great), dog and all my projects. Love this car.

Best car ever

My 2012 Mini is the best car I have owned. It gets great mileage. It is small on in outside but there is plenty of room on the inside and there are very few parking spots it will not fit into. On the open highway it has plenty of get up and go. Mini is a great car

Great small car.

Console design around the gear shift and cup holders leaves something to be desired. Too cramped for holding drink cups easily. Parking brake handle interferes with use of large cup holder. Otherwise it's a pretty nice vehicle.

Greatest Car ? Review

Excellent service, I was a drop in and the service couldn’t be better. My mini looked like it did when I first purchased ( I never really take it to a car wash. I’m glad to say I’ve found a honest reliable car service!.

Mini Cooper

Love my mini cooper sport coupe and hope to keep it a very long time. The look is terrific. even though it sometimes rides like a bucket of bolts. This would be expected in small car such as the sport coupe. I am sorry they quit making this special vehicle.

Best handling vehicle you will ever drive!!!!

I was sold on my initial test drive. The car has more than adequate power and cruses comfortably at 80 mph in addition to its nimble handling. It does have some mechanical short comings but the pleasure of driving a Mini more than makes up for it. Plus it get over 30 mpg.

Quick and runs like a charm, corners like a dream

I've had my mini about a year my grandson's girlfriend was pregnant and sorry to say but car seat in back not very conducive. I put a little work into it and it is a wonderful little car Nary a problem. I drop it off every four to five months in the evening have them check it out make sure everything's running good and they let me know if what I need if I need it and when I need it at John's Auto Repair in Medford Oregon.

MINI COOPER COUNTRYMAN 4 DOOR SEDAN!!

Its a 2012 that looks like it is new. Well maintained when I purchased it 2 years ago. It has go; plenty of go with a 1.6 turbocharged engine and great gearing choices from the 6 speed automatic which can be shifted manually. It is a hoot to drive. It handles like a slot car and goes where you put it. Super fast steering response and great handling. The real amazing aspect is the comfort!! On a long trip (6-8 hours) its like sitting in a chair and has great support for legs and back. Plenty of rear passenger space as the rear seats adjust front to back, just like the front. Even storage space is ok, for such a smaller car. BUT its not really small!!

Cool car

It’s got its flaws but what car doesn’t. It’s quick and fast. It’s reliable . Never really had any major problems. Wish I was in the position to buy a new one. Would change to 4 wheel drive. Love the new styles.

MINI Countryman S AW4 - 2012

One of the most fun cars to drive, but it comes at the cost of reliability. The dealers are few and unless you are close it is a hassle to get to the dealership. The local repair shops can only do minor stuff as the codes are dealer controlled. Consider only if you what a fun driving car.

My Favorite Vehicle

This will be my last vehicle. It is the best car I've ever driven; as much fun as the MGB I owned at 18 but much more reliable. I wish the entertainment system was a little better designed, but that is

2012 Mini Cooper S Convertible-Luna

I love my Mini! Sleek, sporty, and the roof never leaks. Passengers are always surprised by the generous amount of leg and head room in the front seats. Best car I've ever owned. My only complaints are that repairs are mega expensive and Luna doesn't handle well in wintry conditions. Even so, I plan to buy another Mini in the future!

MINI for size -- MAXI for drivability but also for cost of maintenance.

Pro: It's " fun to drive, comfortable, and cute. An abundance of switches but a well written manual. Con: The engine compartmentr is compact to the point of burying what should be easily replacable components and high maintenance costs.

My 2012 Mini Cooper S

I love and enjoy my 2012 Mini Cooper!! I’ve always had an SUV, but it’s fun, fast, good gas mileage and I fit everywhere it seems like!! I’ve never had any issues driving or getting stuck in our Colorado snow storms.

2012 Mini Cooper S Coupe JCW

If you want a fun experience this is the car for you! It can run with the big boys! But I drive like a girl and I dare you to keep up! Find a winding road and see what it will do, it does not disappoint. City driving is a breeze, you can park it anywhere.

Mini Cooper S Coupe

This is a fantastic car to drive. Everyday it is fun to get in and go, whether it's to the office or a pleasure drive. It has plenty of space for my luggage when I head out on a trip. Very comfortable little car.

Great fun car - when it works!

My MINI Countryman has been a fun car for a small SUV. It is no where as great as the smaller Mini but if you need space it is a good compromise. The tuff part is it's reliability and expense to repair. I knew it is an expensive car for repairs but the unacceptable is the failure of the car to get me home. I have been Broken Down, out of state, with kids, 3 times now. The car is maintained at the dealer, with everything they suggest, and is driven very easy. I needed a clutch at 60,000 miles (I have never had to replace a clutch before in my life) And the "Oh Hum" attitude (expected failure) from the dealer really does nothing for my "love of Minis". The dealer has drifted away from the service that used to keep me coming back. Driving the car is very fun but I can not justify the repairs and cost.

Mini Cooper S Coupe JCW

Coach sold me the car and he was so wonderful to work with. Fast, responsive and gets lots of looks. One seat for me and one for my Yorkie! Boot is big enough for my luggage when I travel. If you don't look back at your car when you park it you're driving a boring car!
