Fun to Drive - 2006 Mini Cooper
By david a walsh - December 17 - 4:10 pmThe 2006 Mini Cooper S is the most fun Ive had in 50 years! Its like a go kart on steroids, that turns heads. With the top down everyone feels free to talk to you. Most say "looks cute and fun to drive." I agree! This is a well built vehicle. It feels solid and tight. I have been getting 18 to 28 mpg in city driving depending upon how heavy my foot is. If Im careful, I think that I could average around 25 mpg city. This car has a very stiff suspension hard on bumps, but it is great in turns. I love my mini

smiling everyday - 2006 Mini Cooper
By sarahbeara - November 26 - 5:13 amIf you want to cheer yourself up everytime you get behind the wheel, then the Mini Cooper is for you! This is the zippiest little car Ive ever driven. Every detail is thoughtfully designed and Ive loved every minute Ive had it. For a few thousand dollars more (we were looking for a used prius or civic) I realized that I could buy a car that I seriously love. I now LOOK FORWARD to driving. Its the kind of a treat that I highly recommend - better than an expensive vacation. Spend a few more dollars on a mini cooper, and you will be investing in a decade of smiles!

By melissa - November 14 - 1:50 amThis car is every bit as much fun as it looks. Its also very solid. I was recently rear-ended and couldnt believe how sturdy the car is.

Too Much Fun - 2006 Mini Cooper
By John - October 9 - 1:43 pmThis is the most fun car to drive. I cruise at high speeds and it is comfortable. I have a Mini Cooper S with an automatic transmission and it is like having three different transmissions in the car. Full automatic for normal driving and high fuel economy, sport automatic for increased performace, and manual stick or on steering wheel paddle shifting. Although, the transmission sometimes can act a little strange, ie. not hitting the correct gear. I look for excuses to drive this car.

The greatest thing since sliced bread! - 2006 Mini Cooper
By UKDragon - May 23 - 7:56 pmWhats not to like? The best exterior and interior designed car ever, great fuel economy, you can park it anywhere, still has a great kick in performance, it takes turns like nothing else! Ridiculously fun to drive, and you get to be part of the MINI community- dont forget to wave to other passing MINI owners on the road! One of the best things about this car is that you get to customize its appearance however you wish. Go explore their website and virtually design your own MINI! I have had no technical issues with mine, and its been 2 years. Plus it has a great warranty and the service is BMW quality. Nothing bad to say about it!

Great Fun in a Mini - 2006 Mini Cooper
By harddo in florida - March 4 - 3:26 pmI really enjoy this car. I am a big guy and fit well in it. The seat is a bit soft. The car is a hoot in traffic! I love driving my Mini Cooper JCW convertible. The top is always down!
