What is your opinion of the Mini Cooper?

Looking at used cars, anything good or bad to say? I would ideally like to get a high quality compact car.

I've been a passenger in one it was pretty nice but I'm pretty sure the driver bought a ton of extras and add-ons surprisingly roomy

Gay faggot car if I've ever seen one. What you need is a real, AMERICAN car....like this....

I'm pretty sure it runs on bald eagles, and the tears of true american patriots...
No but seriously I'm sure they are fun as shit to drive, I remembering hearing they handle like a fucking go-cart.

The mpg isn't worth it for a car that gay looking, just my opinion. Civics get as good gas mileage and don't need to take premium. If you want a really fuel efficient car get something different, just my opinion though.

They have the same drive train as a neon and they will have problems with the timing chain (belt really) at around 100k miles if it isnt changed. I have seen some great aftermarket parts for it that makes it look more like the old cars like they tried to simulate.

Anyone bagging on the Mini Cooper has never really driven one. That car is a work of art from an engineering perspective. Amazing suspension will fuck the shit out of any other car. Huge torque and engine strength. Incredibly responsive. My gf has a convertible s series. There is no way I would pay that kind of money for any car, but if I was, a coop would definitely be on the list.

Ive never been in one or driven one, but I kind of like them. After driving a truck for so long, which was like maneuvering a boat, small cars are such a pleasure to drive.

hahaha yeah fucking right dude, whoever told you that has either never driven one of those, or never driven a go-cart....those things are fucking solid steel boats..i believe thats a chevelle SS or a chevelle malibu SS, they are fast in straight lines but they handle like dick
whoever you heard that shit from is a retard who has no idea about cars or completely overhauled his frame/suspension
OP - as far as a mini cooper goes in my book, its for gays and chicks. get a focus or something not so feminine
edit: unless its an original then its cool, or if its the exact one mark wahlberg drove in the italian job....then its boss

aha that makes much more sense i was baffled how anyone could compare a chevelles handling to a go-cart 
yeah, the mini probably does feel like a go-cart, a friend of mine had a supercharged miata that was like a super go-cart....id imagine the supercharged mini cooper S is probably a lot like that...it would be great fun

Like other people have said, they handle nice...
I think they look kind of dumb though.
If I was going to spend a good chunk of change on a car, I'd get a subaru.

minis are overpriced and overrated parts and maintenance arent cheap (what do you expect from a car bmw makes) problems do occur and the dealerships usually dont back you up too easily

I totally agree and it's easier to find a parking space.
