  The Most Fun Car Ever Built - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Tonnelier - March 15 - 8:10 pm

  Ive only had it for a week, but Im in love! Without a doubt, it the cutest thing on the road. It drives like a dream, hugs the road tightly, even without the Dynamic Stability Control or the Sport Suspension. The Harmon Kardon stereo is so good that you can hear piano jazz at 65 miles an hour with the top down. Power windows and top are standard, I believe, as are remote door and trunk locks. In fact, you can put the top down with the remote! The warranty covers all service for 3 years. And the "Ultimate" plan covers tire and windshield damage as well. The only drawbacks are backseat leg room and a tiny trunk. But if youre hung up on those things, buy a minivan!

  Great Little Car! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By DH - January 26 - 1:23 pm

  I bought the Mini base model in mid October 06 (red body and white roof) and its been so much fun to drive! It has great handling and solid steering, true to its BMW heritage and it really drives like a BMW! Though only 115 hps, it does not feel under-powered if you know how to work a stick shift. It is wonderful that the base Mini comes with Leatherette and not fabric since fabric covers eventually get all icky and cant be wiped down.

  MINI s with JCW Tuner Kit - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By llblasi - November 10 - 10:10 am

  The Mini Cooper S with JCW tuner kit is a tight, fast pocket rocket that loves to be thrown into tight corners. The fun factor is definitly a 10.

  2006 MCS w/JCW Air Filter - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Craig - November 6 - 8:20 am

  This is my second MINI, my first was a 2003 MINI Cooper. I was going to wait for the new 2007 and new engine, but decided that new French engines wouldnt be a good choice in the first build year. I ordered and waited nine weeks for delivery. I have not been disappointed. The power is 100% better than the 2003 models and the interior is superior also. As with any "new" car I have had a few minor problems, none in the powerplant. Overall this MCS drives and handles like a dream and it brings a smile to me everytime out. Whether I purchase another MCS is for the future, I am enjoying this one too much now to even think about that. I would highly recommend this to any driver looking for a change in style!

  LOVE this CAR! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By pill grl - October 20 - 7:46 pm

  This car is incredible - if you are even thinking of purchasing one you must drive it before deciding against it. I get at least one comment per day like "nice ride," "awesom car," etc. A friend of mine said he was thinking about a MINI and bought a VW instead - all I said was you didnt drive one did you? He said "no - how did I know that" I said because you didnt buy one.

  The Most Fun Ever - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Zooming Mini - October 16 - 2:56 am

  I have had my Mini for just over a month and have put 1300 miles on it already (this includes a 10 day trip out of town while Mini stayed home). Driving a Mini is the most fun I have ever had driving a car. It is a dream in busy city traffic and comfortable on my long drives to the beach.

  WOW! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By cphoebus - October 10 - 10:10 am

  I just got my MINI Cooper S and I love it! Everyone wants to drive it and tells me how cool it is. I didnt like the looks of them at first but they grew on me. I am super happy with my new purchase! If you can afford it, definitely get the S model.
