  • The Best trade-in Ever - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    We took ownership of this vehicle a mere ten days ago. We traded in 2002 Saturn. The Mini Coopers S is 100X different and better than the Saturn. My biggest worry was storage space. All of our groceries fit into the car. The drive is like being a rat in a chase. It moves flawlessly through traffic and poor weather.

  • My Second MINI - 2008 Mini Cooper

    My last MINI was a 2003 hard top, and this new convertible is much better than my old car. It was love at first sight when I picked it up at the dealer. Ive had it for a month and it is past the 1250 mile break-in point, and it is more limber and willing. As far as Im concerned, Ill be happy to drive this MINI for many years.

    Very peppy. Fun to drive. Excellent in the city or the highway. Does better gas mileage than is advertised. Cant mistake this car with anything else. Exterior design stands out from the crowd and you don’t have to break the bank for it.

  • Race car - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I have only had my mini convertiable for a week and it is the best car I have ever owned in my life.. this was a 40th birtday present from my husband and he really knows how to get brownie points, when I drive this car I feel like every road is my racetrack, this car corners on rails, it handles like a dream, it is so much fun to drive, I traded a small suv in for my mini, and i was thought i might feel a little intimated on the road, but it just moves through traffic like a dream.

    Got my Mini Cooper in May and I love the car. I had an SUV before, and Im really liking not having to buy gas every week. Im getting around 35mpg with the 6 speed auto and while using the Triptonic trans. Handles surprisingly well in the snow too.

    I bought the car in May of 2008 and already have over 30k miles, so it is a great car to travel in. I am able to get my wife, son, golf clubs, and everything else that comes with having a toddler in the car with no problems. People complaining about space dont know how to use what they have! Got it for the gas milage first and performance second, it hasnt disappointed in either. My main concern is the constant rattling from the passenger side and the dealerships refusal to fix it. Aside from that it is a great car.

  • Finally Got My MINI - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    Recently graduated 7 years worth of pharmacy education and took advantge of getting my dream car. I cant recall the first time I ever saw it (tv, movies, drive past one) but I wanted one. I dont drive manual so I waited a month for my Oxygen Blue White Top MINI! I cant begin to explain how much fun I have driving it! I get so much attention from it and love waiving to my fellow MINI drivers! Gas is so ridiculous, I get over 40 MPG (especially if i switch to the fake manual). I enjoy my panoramic sunroof everyday. Im a petite girl and feel like it was made for me in every way! Oh and Ive only had the car for 2 months and it now has 3000 miles!

  • Awesome Mini - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I first got my Mini Cooper in March of 2007. I love the way the Mini handles on the highway and the way she hugs the mountain roads. I wish there was a little more leg room in the back but I only have one child and we just bought her the 2008 Mini Cooper and she is loving her own Mini. We can take both Mini on a road trip and still walk away with money in our pocket from saving on fuel. We will always be a Mini Cooper family..

  • No more sidewalk model - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I love my British racing green convertible. The sidewalk package has all the bells and whistles esp the gorgeous brown leather interior. Now they wont make it any more. I am disappointed I wanted a new one only because I think the rear window visibility would be much improved with the retractable roll bars.

  • Love it... going to build a MINI family! - 2008 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I love my MINI, have wanted one for years, designed my own, got it delivered in 3 weeks and have not had to go back to the dealership for anything! I have the 6 speed manual and love it! I would pay all over again! One day Ill own an S-convertible and an S- clubman to finish my MINI family. I recommend these cars to anyone and everyone come across! And I just got back from a cross country road trip, best and most comfortable drive Ive ever had for long term road time.
