  amazing commute! - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By emily - November 7 - 3:16 am

  I elected to build my mini from scratch, and it was a really fun experience. Mini Marketing kept me in the loop with what was going on with my car and supplied me with fun little mini accessories along the way. I live in the city, and commute ~20 miles to work. On both fronts, this car is amazing... it puts a smile on my face when commuting (and not just because of the 39mpg), and makes me want to hug it when it inevitably fits in the most ridiculously small street parking spots. The car oozes character.

  Did I buy the right car - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By kongsi - November 5 - 10:41 am

  Well I was looking for a bigger car , but saw this MINI at BMW of Dallas and fell in love with it. I was surprised , how good the service was when I bought it , this Ali really went out of his way to help me choose the right car.Then usually I feel the car gets lesser as the time of purchase goes by , but they upgraded the car to certificated the car and replaced things that were getting worn , like the run flat tires. The car is a blast to drive ,the only thing I´m not sure of how hard the ride is and how loud the road noise is. It can wear me out . The price is a little high ,because some things are so much plastic , but there are allot of features on it .

  Beware of water for Mini Convertible - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By NotSoGreat - October 14 - 9:20 am

  To those of you considering buying the Mini Convertible. There is a design issue where water pours into the Mini on the drivers side when you open the door or window when it is, or has been, raining. I thought mine had a problem, only to find out after three visits that its just the design that is an issue and thus cant be fixed. Its been fun driving it, but the water issue is a deal killer for me so I will be selling my Mini.

  MINI - A better MGB - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By Carlover - June 27 - 3:20 am

  I have a British Racing Green basic MINI with the cold weather option. Nothing extra and I love this car. People who say its under powered do not know how to drive a stick shift sports car properly. You must use the tach, rev the engine and you have to love to shift! Use its power curve and it will never dsappopoint. I have a hard time keeping to the speed limit. My little car just wants to fly! Its very similar to my long-gone MGs, but better. Its faster, handles better, great mileage, little engine, big heart, I havent had this much fun driving in years. No issues with reliablity. More room inside than my Pontiac and room for friends if needed. What more could you ask for? Love it!!

  When I Press the Start Button! - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By TOMCAT - May 18 - 8:26 am

  Ah! I have finally found the car I so dreamed of. Namely a car (to borrow the words of another automobile ad) when I press the Start Button it presses my start button! I traded in a perfect 2007 Lexus RX 350 for the Mini. The Lexus was just too boring to drive. I wanted something with attitude! With a doubt my MINI Cooper S is it! The only cars I can remember that Ive owned that were this much fun and excitng to drive were my 1973 BMW 2002 Tii or my 1972 Capri (from Germany V- 6)! Yes its ride is a bit taut, but if youre looking for a smooth ride, but a Lexus or a Buick. Everyplace I go, people stop to look and ask or compliment me about it. In short, I love my MINI!

  Great Car - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By mini coop - April 23 - 10:00 am

  Has been virtually trouble free and I have 48,000 miles on the car in two years. I am 65" tall and it is very comfortable..tons of room. My 66" son can sit in the back seat behind my wife on the passenger side. We can fit 5-6 bags of grocery even with four in the car. It accelerates very well with 4 in the car even up hills. Ride is firm but has no rattles. The six speed manual is smooth and the engine improves with mileage. I like it better now than when I got it...smoother and quicker. Still gets tons of looks and comments. People pull up asking me roll down my window to say the car is great. Nothing performs as well for the money and 40+ MPG. Great in snow and cold. Strong heater.

  A MINI That Give You Alot! - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By Little Red Rocket - April 1 - 3:23 pm

  Have had my MINI for about 15 months. Id have more miles on it but living in sunny AZ, I love riding my Bikes. This is one fun car! Almost takes me back to when I owned a BMW 2002Tii. I had the JCW Performance Kit installed. Yes it really makes a difference! Not so much wth the JCW Brembo Brakes. Save yourself some money and stay with the OEM. Just about everyplace I park my MINI, people compliment it. My wife has an 06 Miata MX-5. Both cars have almost the same performance stats, but really feel different. The MX-5 is so smooth and natural. The MINI feels like every second it looks for a fight! What fun! Watch out for the options you order A $23K car cost over $40K easily Have fun!

  Cute but rough. - 2008 Mini Cooper
  By Ian Venieris - March 29 - 6:00 pm

  Cute looks, good handling and the new for 2007 BMW engine with Peugeot parentage caused me to buy the 2008 Cooper S with the 6-speed transmission. Having driven the automatic I do not recommend it as it does not allow for the fuel economical 6th gear when in sport mode. The car is plagued by multitude of gremlins which in my case caused it to spend 28 out of the first 60 days at the dealerships service department. 1200 miles out of a total of 2000 miles driven were for transport to and from the dealership. If one decides that this is the only car in which they can be happy, I suggest interviewing the dealership to identify their service competency but few areas have more than one dealer.
