  Fast and Fun! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By KCKel - June 9 - 8:00 pm

  Speed Limits spoil the enjoyment of driving this car! That is the only negative thing I can say about it so far. I highly recommend it! If you want a small and peppy car, this is it! No need to test drive anything else. I am 56 and my husband is 6 we both fit in it perfectly. We fight over who gets to drive it. It has numerous features such as leather heated seats, Harmon/Kardon stereo system, computer which indicates fuel consumption, miles left before needing fuel, and xenon head lights.

  Loved it since I bought it. - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Dave Finski - March 8 - 10:46 pm

  Ive loved my 2006 Mini convertible since I bought it brand new. My wife asked me what Id get on my next one that I didnt get on the one I bought. My answer, "nothing". There isnt anything I feel I should have opted for. Nothing I opted for that I should have done without. Opted for the basic engine. Saved money and dont need the extra horsepower, extra complexity of the turbo now mileage loss from being assertive with the gas pedal. Got the chrome exterior do-dads to cheer it up, leather bolstered seats, AC, manual transmission, more chrome do-dads inside and heated seats. Must get the heated seats. Awesome when the air gets a bit chilly. Now my wife wants her own!

  Excellent car - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Blitz - February 12 - 2:36 am

  This is the best small car you can find. Its like buying a small BMW 3-Series because the interior has lots of BMW parts. It is very fun to drive, and a very unique car. 2006 is the last year for this generation so the build quality is perfect. I look forward to driving in my Mini every morning.

  Cooper S the thrill is back - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By RM Joy - January 2 - 4:23 am

  I have been driving my MINI Cooper S for about 6 months, and it still a blast. The S comes stock with a 168 hp engine, which is plenty of fun, but I did an aftermarket upgrade ($280.00) to bring it up to about 190 hp. I am a lover of small cars, and these cars handle marvelously on the highway or on Oregons twisty country rodes. Above all, this little car has "character".

  Fun looking but poor quality - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By katefromca - December 2 - 9:46 am

  Owned the Mini for 2.5 years; in that time, had an oil leak, brake problems, steering wheel problems, and a dead battery. Good thing it comes with warranty and full maintenance! It is a fun car to drive and people still gawk when seeing a Mini convertible. But, it is an extremely unreliable car and after awhile that does eat into the fun, even with free repairs and maintenance. Finally, traded it in for a not-so-fun but reliable and safe Subaru. If you are considering this car, make sure your Mini dealership is close to where you live, youll be visiting it often!

  Mini is Awesome - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By erik shryock - October 30 - 3:43 am

  I am very delighted that I bought this wonderful machine. Having BMW behind it you can sure tell the quality of this product. I had driven a friends two years ago and fell in love with it. I have been shopping for luxury autos for leasing; but, when Mini made this convertible and I test drove it with top down at BMW i quickly purchased it in stead of a BMW. I feel you get your money worth and its cute to boot. Thank you.

  Im Happy with Happy - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Happy - October 23 - 10:10 am

  Just sitting in my MINI Cooper (Happy) puts a smile on my face. Very few cars can do that anymore. It handles like a GoKart and gets good economy. The only issue that I have had with it is that BMW says to use Premium Fuel, which is a bummer. The back seats are not usefull unless those in front are small also. Otherwise, this car is a beatiful piece of machinery.
