  2010 Cooper Hardtop 6 Speed Auto - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By micweb - June 13 - 2:33 pm

  This is not your typical "B" segment mini-car (like the Honda Fit, Yaris HB, Scion xA, all of which Ive owned). The NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) levels are ultra low for this class. This is a QUIET, SMOOTH car. Very high levels of front seat comfort. Base suspension and stock tires are surprisingly good - I have no plans to make changes, which is unlike me. Superb gas mileage - an indicated 35.4 mpg on my mostly freeway driving in regulare (non-sport) mode. Also a bargain, if you dont add "extras," and take into account the fine stock sound system and detailed on-board computer.

  THE best small car for your $ - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By barmjuan - March 27 - 10:00 am

  I recently found myself in the market for a new car. Since I knew I wanted a car made by BMW but only wanted to spend about $30k the choice was pretty obvious. I didnt realize it would be so obvious that this car was made by BMW. The Mini Cooper S is so fun to drive you may, as I did, have to adjust to having a car that handles so well, an engine that is just so eager to jump at being driven hard, and still manage to get around 30 mpg in the process.

  A brand new MINI with dead USB port - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By ymc - March 19 - 10:00 am

  We bought a brand new MINI a few weeks ago. Before we signed the purchased contract, we found the iphone/USB port does not work. The dealer insured us that was just a very minor and common issue in some 2010 mini and could be fixed easily by updating software upgrade or just replacing a small united called ULH box (where all the wires for the usb/ipod connect). He said if we can wait for a few hours they can fix it. We were so stupid and believed his words, and took the car since we run out of the time stay over there. Now it turns out a very serious problem, after I send the car back for them to fix. They cannot fix the USB port in a few hours but request a few days.

  Our new MINI - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By hrnsindy - March 22 - 6:20 am

  When we purchased this MINI, I wasnt sure about it. I had liked the VW GTI, But hubby and daughter were sold on this..but now that I have driven it - I love it too! the gas mileage is great we are getting 33/36 mpg! and it is fun! I find that I have a bit more of a defensive driver as people tend to run you over. But our 16 yr loves it and I see that she is a better driver too. We had a Mustang GT, but this far better and we are glad we bought it! We keep it in sport mode for city driving (the turbo lag is the only thing I dont like) but Sport mode takes that away. Get the Mini Cooper S...and the good stereo.

  Great Alternative - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By es - October 29 - 10:00 am

  This car is perfect for my daily 20 mile, one way commute. Fits into 50% more parking spaces - such a pleasure in NYC. Performs great although gear-shifting in auto lags a bit. Switching to manual takes care of that. Love the look and roomy interior (cant speak for backseat.) Gas mileage a little less than estimated (27) but still very good (24-25). Sport mode is a little jumpy for city driving (for me) but great for highway. Overall very very pleased with purchase.

  Enjoyable Ride - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By jekahrn - September 13 - 1:33 pm

  This is a great little car, it has speed, maneuverability,and is comfortable! I drive 3 hrs a day one way to work, and the gas mileage is 40 to 42! I find that Shell gas works the best, any other and the mileage fall to 38. Bluetooth works well and be sure to get the better radio. All in all, a good choice.

  Interesting... - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By Euro - May 26 - 1:00 pm

  Well so far I am having fun driving. I am not sure how it handles in the snow or in cold weather yet so I am trying to wait to pass "full" judgment. As far as the way it handles day to day I find it easy to maneuver and great reaction timing.

  2010 JCW-BMW has another great car! - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By Joe Merchant - November 22 - 10:40 pm

  We previously owned a 2006 BRG MC, and absolutely loved the car. We purchased the 2010 JCW a couple weeks ago and WOW what an upgrade. From the Harmon Kardon audio, to more comfortable interior, this car has exceeded my wifes expectations as well as my own. The only downside is the recommendation not to exceed 4000 RPM during the first 1000 miles-this car is begging to be motored...we cannot wait to feel the redline performance of this car. As for Breaking, you tap the pedal and the brakes grab, and grab hard-the seat belts are more for controlled breaking than inmpact! You will appreciate the stopping power-you will love the acceleration and burble of the engine and exhaust!

  Like a little go-kart - 2010 Mini Cooper
  By nmwolfe - February 6 - 10:53 am

  I bought my Mini new in August 2010 from a dealer in Albuquerque, NM. Ive owned a 1966 Porsche 911, a 1973 Porsche 911s and a 1985 Porsche 930, but I can honestly say my little Mini although it "aint a Porsche is a blast. Ive got 50k on it and my MPG which I never have reset is 37.5 and my average MPH is 58.9 over those 50,000 miles. Top speed, 149......I couldnt get it to 150. Oh well, 149 MPH is pretty fast and itll get there pretty quick. I truly love my Mini!
