Expensive to repair. Engine defects.

The timing belt went. It turns out, this was a problem with other coopers as well.

My Mini

I purchased the car used and the previous owner got rid of it due to issues I believe. I loved the performance, the handling and the gas mileage. 38,000 miles when purchased 148,000 when the engine failed/needed replacing. Fun car to drive the S model...great overall experience with this vehicle! I wish that I would purchased it new! I will miss driving my Mini Cooper S model!

Fun little car, but....

Fun little car but it will require more maintenance than most vehicles. 2009 Cooper S with 84k miles. I've replaced: water pump, thermostat, oil cooler seal, oil filter mount seal, valve cover and valve cover seal, passenger seat mat air bag sensor, timing chain and timing guide, 4 spark plugs and ignition coils, vacuum pump, turbo oil intake seal, serpentine belt and the normal tires and brakes.

Love it

I come from a long line of pickup tucks, so when I switched from full-size truck to MINI at first I was a bit nervous about being so small. Once I realized the power of the weight-to-horsepower ratio, I quickly fell in love. I've always had utilitarian vehicles that transported me from one place to another. This is the first car that I've truly enjoyed driving and have no plans to trade in my nine-year-old MINI Cooper S. It's a joy to "motor", very comfortable, and can transport more than one would think with the back seats down.

Overall good

Longest lasting car I’ve ever had. It has its faults it burns too much oil the radio went out no longer works but I was offered a very good warranty when I bought the car which I wisely took. Roomier than it seems

Fun and great car...but once is enough for me!

I've loved my mini cooper but I don't think I'd buy another one. They're a lot of fun and a great car when you're young but just too expensive to maintain and they can be problematic if you don't know what you're getting into!

Fun car. Expensive repairs

I love this car but sometimes the repairs are pricey. Even with the repair prices, that aren’t all that often, I plan on purchasing another mini after my current car dies. It’s so fun to drive and when I lived in a city I could always fit in street parking no one else could

Amazi g car but . . .

Few cars are this fun to drive. The headlining is amazing. The ice is not going to win drag races but the roll on power and light weight will stay right with canned up muscle cars. If there is any bend in the road you will disappear. Now the bad. Too much plastic under the hood. Not a good car if you get stuck in traffic. The high heat will cause things to crack. You have to change oil 3x as much as the recommend if you want to keep the car and still things will wear out pretty fast. Luckily parts are not that expensive for the easy stuff.. and they are not that hard to work on so it could be worse. The newer generation are more composed but not as fun to drive as gen 2. Gen 2 is more fun to drive than gen 1 so I think this is as good as it gets for the time being

Maintenance

If you like the German style performance handling vehicles and if your fiance loved...go... for it, is not going to break you some arm an muscles!?, I have the chance to drive every other day for two weeks and some extra time, the sound sistem it sounds well, now I can not tell which brand of a stereo is in, so I'm just guessing is probably a German type well insulated, and while driving I notice is pretty silent inside, not bad for small car especially if driving on reduce noise tires, now I have the vehicle with some 70kmiles on it, so I had put like 3kmile on the past, and then it was park for several weeks then I started driving it again and I notice this time on the air conditioning wasn't that cold, so I took it to the shop and they found a minor leak and by that time I went there the check engine light was on to, an some other stuff like pm was do on and so on, they conducted a check engine test and a few marker lights there were out, so they fix all that and the rear breaks and rotors, I think the spark plugs are the only thing they left to change on the next round, I bean driving for several weeks so far so good I had spend just on jaw breaker?, I suggest for does; be in top of your scheduling maintenance on this !!! Radiator ,water pump, air conditioning ect, if you want to be happy with your mini ?. Saluts and good luck!

Great car with speed to get around heavy traffic and road damage.

The Mini Cooper S has had a good reputation for a good few decades now and I can see why, always wanted one but was not given the opportunity until I had a situation after a person had taken out my Toyota truck.

My 2009 Mini Clubman

I love my Mini. I feel like I am in control of my car rather than the car being in control of me. I get good mileage and I can maneuver traffic efficiently. I love how it hugs the curves in the road.
