My hubby and I are thinking of buying a mini cooper.....Any one own one?

Question

What has been your experience and what do you recommend, as far as features? What color is yours? We like the pepper white or the british green....But I noticed it isn't availble in the yellow....Are there any other things I need to be aware of when buying one? And would you recommend buying one? Thanks in advance....

Answer 1

Its a great little car and a fun car to drive but its not a car for a fat person. My car was color red that my girlfriend loved. I used to own a older model when I lived overseas and owned one 3 years ago. It was more of a toy then a everyday car. It didnt serve my needs and wasnt useful for any particular reason so I got rid of it. It was a bad investment in some way for me but I sold it for almost what i bought it for so it worked out well in the end. i also never felt safe driving it due to its size.

Answer 2

They are fun to drive, but they have a harsh ride on bumpy pavement, and damn, they're low! Think if you really want to get in and out of such a small vehicle every day, and also, it is difficult to see out of and be seen in because of all the other idotic big cars around these days. The cost and reliability make them more of a jewelry car than economic transportation, and consider how often will you be able to drive as fast as this car can go? Consider a Mazda 3 or a Matrix instead.
Unless you can be happy with a weekend sports car, and can afford it.

Answer 3

It is expensive to buy. It is good if you don't need space, but if I am going to pay money for a stylish car, I prefer the PT cruiser, at least I have space to transport things.

Answer 4

if your buying new no problems, I have the Green S its a blast to drive. If you are getting used stay away from the first year model

Answer 5

Its a good second car, not something to drive everyday of the week, too much maintenance

Answer 6

They have more consumer complaints than any other vehicle.

Answer 7

NOPE
