  My Mini has driven me off the deep end! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By jaimief - December 10 - 5:55 am

  I bought a 2006 mini cooper hatchback automatic and have had nothing but HORRIFIC problems from the start! Where to begin, well all of the internal accessories have either fallen off broke, or cracked within the first year, including: cup holder, visor, change cup holder lid, and cigarette lighter!! Then someone smashed into my car and nearly totaled it, Prestige mini was responsible for fixing the damage and had me drive up there three times because they could not fix it properly. After the third time, it still was not fixed, the better business needed to get involved and still to this day, 4 years later, my car still is the most unreliable car imaginable. Terrible customer service!

  Excellent - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By jasper - November 25 - 5:36 pm

  This car is so fun to drive and reliable. I was pleasently suprised by all of the features that it has. I wouldnt have expected them because when I first saw it I just though it was a cute car. The features coupled with the price make this the best car I have ever owned!

  Great Little Big Car - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By DC - September 6 - 1:33 am

  This is the best sports car that Ive ever owned. Ive had a Porsche 911, 924, Mazda RX-7, and a couple of Lexus models. The Mini Cooper is stable, fun to drive, and well put together. It is a little car on the outside but a big car on the inside.

  Coop, Coop, Coop - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Bob - July 20 - 3:00 am

  This is a great car. Its fun to drive, well engineered, gets good gas mileage, looks sharp, corners like a race car, and accelerates with the best of them. I drive it on a 36 mile commute every day and love it. It does not drive like a small car. It feels very solid on the road.

  BIG Fun in a Small Car - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Bill - June 14 - 8:40 pm

  I have had my MINI since August. I have really enjoyed it. My "second" car is a Lincoln Town Car and I am seriously considering selling it and just keeping my MINI. It is actually easier to enter and exit the MINI than the Lincoln. It always gets looks when I pull away from a light. Evidently some people think it is an "economy" car, but I know it is a "hot rod".

  Amazing ride in such a small package - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By ojershelly - June 14 - 9:26 am

  This car puts the "kid" back in all of us! Lower the top and it brings a smile to your day. Whoever said "bigger is better" never drove a Mini. Drive one.

  My Favorite Car to Date! - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Mom loves Mini - April 13 - 12:03 pm

  The Mini is excellent in the snow. Forget the 4-wheel big SUV, this little car handles the snow better than any other car I owned. In the summer, the Mini begs to be driven on the open road. Also, I have yet to find a parking spot that I cant fit into. I went to New York in the winter. At first the parking garage said there was no room, but when they saw my Mini, they found room for that car! I have yet to use my husbands truck to go grocery shopping. My Mini holds it all and then some!! I have yet to have a bad experience with my car. Just seeing my car makes me smile and I say "Mini, mini, mini!!"

  Love my MINI - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Rebecca - March 11 - 12:20 am

  I have actually had my MINI since November of 2002. It is the most fun I have had on four wheels! The service that I have received (when necessary) has been wonderful! It is truly a joy to own - - my next car will be a MINI Cooper S.

  Lotta Love for My Little MINI - 2006 Mini Cooper
  By Arobryn - March 5 - 1:50 am

  When my Honda Prelude lost a cylinder I was crushed. I loved that car. I decided to buy new, did the research and got an economy car - Mazda3. I almost took it back with buyers remorse. The Mazda3 is probably the sportiest economy car youll find, but it is no comparison to my Prelude. By the beginning of this year I was determined to get something new. I never looked at the MINI as I couldnt take the car seriously because of its looks. After sitting in one I did some research and finally ordered from the factory. After two months it arrived five days ago and Im in love, again! I got a Pure Silver MCS Convertible with JCWorks Kit and that 207hp moves my little street-legal go-kart like a DREAM!
