@Chingonshushu Honda don't want to be a mini!!! Go bk to driving your Micra and dreaming of owning a shitty mini. You obviously have not drove many nice cars!!
@999pooley 1. talk proper english 2. dont asume what ppl have and dont have (like a 10yr old) 3. I have a Mini JCW GP 4. you have your taste I have mine, you like black I like white you cant argue taste and colours 5. I've probaly drove more cars than the hair you have on your head, been a amature racing driver!
@KaotickAnimalz er sorta... there slow when u have 4 people and they all weigh 175+ LB and the speed limit is 40 MPH. i prefer my old volvo from 90 something because it like the same thing but it was like a tank and you can probably run over a truck... though i prefer my american strong arm cars ford(escort), chevy(impala? or malibu... cant remember), and GMC (never owned 1 but in high school quite a few owned a GMC jimmy)
nice looking car...but so many people are driving it that it's so overrated. This is a car u wanna keep for 3-4 years and not a car u want to buy to own because u'll pay an arm and a leg without the warranty.
@lerlo the language is always changing and there are always going to be certain dialects and idioms in each culture..english was never really english in the first place so why does it matter?
@Kurzland in the u.s. they are about $25,000 for the Cooper S, but prices will vary if you build your own, but standard price is 25k. If you want something more sporty than the Cooper S check out the John Works Cooper, that one is roughly priced at 32k
I've just got my hand on a second hand '07 cooper S on laser blue w 44k miles in it. I love it in every single way :) and if you're looking for one of these, get one with 6 speed manual ! the pedal positioning is 100% perfect. Im joyous :)
ive driven mini. YOU GET TO PARK YOUR CAR SWIFTLY THROUGH AT TIGHT SPACES, A CHICK TAKING A PICTURE OF YOUR CAR, AWESOME INTERIOR, FASTER THAN A GOLF OR ANY NON SPORTS CAR.
Its a bit tight back seat, but who needs passengers to drive eh?
@chewser117 Stock - Mini might take it - tough to say. I had a '96 VR6 for a while, never raced a mini, but I've had the chance to drive a few. They're quick cars. Around the bends, the mini would take it 10 for 10. Maintenance wise, they are about the same to operate.
Okay I have a question im 6'2 and I fit comfortably in a civic hatchback 93"eg rear seats im just wondering if the mini is equal in size or smaller? because I love the mini so much but worried it is small area rear seats for friends when I go on long trips. I love civic eg but it always gets stolen lol in my neighborhood. please reply thank you very much....
@Plogics88 this is not a car that you want to put anyone whos over 5'8" and even then if anyone around 5'-8" does sit in the back seat,,, it would only be for a short drive. this is speaking from someone who ownes a mini. stick with the civic.
@Plogics88 one of my co workers just picked up a 2010 GTI, and he loves it. i took it out for a few spins and its very very quick, quicker than the mini S that i have, but it is also more refined, it goes over bumps better and smother. where as the mini is very rough and harsh, but i do have 18"rims and low profile tires... his gti is a 4 door and VERY roomy in the back 4 guys can easily get in this car and take a 500km road trip
my sister has this one and so far this is the absolute best front-wheel-drive car i've ever driven, the steering is very direct and precise... test drive it people you'll love it ! be sure to drive one with a six speed manual !
i can agree, i have an 08, poor fuel economy, and it only takes premium, also this car is quick, but if you want to drive it and have fun, be ready for many trips to the dealer for repairs, ive had mine 7 months and ive already made 6 trips, rear bushings, front hub, throtle sensor, flywheel bearings, clutch vacum pump, engine tick, you name it its broken, car only has 20k on it. its fun to drive, but hard on the wallet. its under warranty but the time to go to the dealer and all that stuff.
I own one of these, an '07 model with turbo like this one. It's amazing to drive, looks the business and very little goes wrong with it. the only downsides are the high price, poor fuel economy and the stiff ride that comes with having 17'' alloys and run flat tyres
okay my parents are willing to buy a cooper S for my 16 b day (in 3 years lol) because they love mini. Is it fun? is it comfortable? tell me everything I need to know
You must be a ricer. The true car enthusiast doesn't judge a car by only its looks but by its classiness, its performance, and its quality. Mini meets and exceeds all of the above in my eyes.
@paraskevas15 my dad is 6'5" and he said its one of the most comfortable cars he has ever been in you can put the seat all the way back which gives you plenty of leg room
oh hell yeah they're fun. I just bought my first one yesterday. It's on 02 cooper but I absolutely love it. never felt this way about a car before and I was driving a porsche 944. I prefer the mini :)
What, for £16K new? Last I checked, Porsche didn't do anything for that price - and nor were they winning Car of the Year.
I rate these, having just picked up one as second car. The 1.6 Turbo works better than the old Supercharged model - saving you on tax and petrol, yet not losing any appreciable performance.
Power is instant and smooth, with no turbo lag. Torque sheer is minimal and Sport mode makes the whole thing stiffer than a young Ron Jeremy. Awesome on a curve.
I am 15 but I really want a Mini Cooper S as my first car. Looks great and like other people said, it's fuel efficient and it's like driving a go kart thanks to it's since and power. I don't really care about a few kids saying it's a gay car. I rather be gay in a few eyes of youtube kids and have a Mini then be "cool" in their eyes with a lame as oversized ford truck. (Which is slow as f*ck)
Hehe, nah, second hand won't be all that bad, but I first want a bike, and after that a car, so it's not that I will have it right away when I am 18 :P Will take me some years :P (Don't want a useless piece of crap as my first car :P, rather wait some years then spend those years paying for a crap car)
we've had ours (Mini Cooper S R53) for 7 years and 97 000 miles. No problems with him (yep, he is a he). Only scheduled services. Amazing car and a true faimly member.
Damn, i've wanteda mini since they announced that they were remaking them years ago. Now, i'm looking into new cars and setting a time of early next year for one. But, now I can't decide between this, one of my dream cars that I can actualyl afford, or a Volve C30 which to me, is unexpected and stunning, mostly since I was never a Volvo fan! Well, guess I got more research to do.
I took my 2004 Mini in for service (all that it has ever needed) and was given one of these as a loaner. It felt "cheesey". Lots of rattles and when you closed the door it felt like it was made of tin. One of the things I love about my Mini is how tight it feels. You just know its made well. This felt like a cheap knock off.
To those who commented that the cars in colors with the white top look dumb; you need to know that is a nod to the car's racing past. The early '60's racing teams used white and checked or flagged tops to tell their cars from the others in the pack on the track and from a distance in rallys. Racing heritage rules!
HA I have an auto transmission. And all of my friends got after me saying an auto is slower. Granted it isn't faster by much but its still faster in the end.
actually the mini cooper s gets the same exact mileage as a toyota corolla does, and the stock mini cooper gets even more. i can agree that you save 4,000 dollars on a japanese car, but on the other hand they have shabby crash test ratings and they just dont have the BMW quality of a mini cooper.
Why?? If you want a small, economical car why a mini-cooper? A Honda civic or Toyota Corolla is so much more practical. All it pulls off is 19mph tops more than an average sedan, and it starts at over 20k? Are you serious? Many of my friends who owned them had engine trouble with them, some were lemons.
I was looking into a toyota (my dad is japanese so he is of course for japanese motors) but the mini gets the same mpg as corolla and starts at 16-17k. My mom who grew up in the 60's want me to get the mini...
would you recomend this car as a frist car im 14 and soon to get my permit and i have started saving for one would you recommend it i want to get a 2003-2005 S
Your first car, it really depends to me how you drive... but I honestly think kids should all start out with an older car so they understand how cars really drive compared to all of these cars with electronic safety and whatnot. i.e 80s or early 90s cars. ABS, TCS, etc. A beginner (in my point of view) should learn how to drive without those things to understand how they work and help you. But I think that way because I like to push my car to the limit a lot. I don't like the electronics.
I agree that a kids first car should be an older car but only because chances are that they are going to destroy it!!! I know my friends and I destroyed my first car!!! 1981 Olds Cutlass!!
Odiggler - you're obviously american (I'm sorry,it's not your fault). Did you not realise that the size of car a male chooses is inversely proportional to the size of his manhood? Of course not, you're american.
Ride quality is not bad on R56(07+ cooper/cooper s), but make sure you test drive the sport package with 17+" wheel before making your decision, with 17+" ride quality can be an issue in places like NYC.
I have to say my baby perform beyond my high expectation: there is something truly unique about a mini in the driving experience. It can not be described by 0-60mph time or skidpad number, but only can be appreciated through driving it.
I'm a self respecting MALE, and the only time you'll find me inside a MINI its called a MINIskirt. I can just picture one of my buddies coming to me and saying "Dude I wanna get a MINI " I would Slap that idea of his face so quick it would make his head spin.
they are low to the ground...but think about it....they are front weel drive...turbocharged...u will have no problem...mann i love this car..im 18 years old...but ime get one just to have fun with it...imagin...stick shift small car..with handling...you can take anyturn and go into any where u want...lool
I much prefer the BMW version. They're only huge compared to the original - very small compared to other modern cars. They're far safer than the original, look better and have useable interior space.

My 998 austin mini reaches 90mph and can reach up to 55 miles to the gallon so i leave you with this, These cars are NOT i repeat NOT MINI, They are huge and aren't as cute as the classics so eat shit bmw
i want one so i can tune it up nasty and be smoking them little doubters who say that this car cant do shit...but the only thing i dont like about the mini's is that big speedometer in the middle...too big

Damn, i've wanteda mini since they announced that they were remaking them years ago. Now, i'm looking into new cars and setting a time of early next year for one. But, now I can't decide between this, one of my dream cars that I can actualyl afford, or a Volve C30 which to me, is unexpected and stunning, mostly since I was never a Volvo fan! Well, guess I got more research to do.

If you get a C30 over a cooper s everyone will hate you and you will be cast from society

I took my 2004 Mini in for service (all that it has ever needed) and was given one of these as a loaner. It felt "cheesey". Lots of rattles and when you closed the door it felt like it was made of tin. One of the things I love about my Mini is how tight it feels. You just know its made well. This felt like a cheap knock off.

To those who commented that the cars in colors with the white top look dumb; you need to know that is a nod to the car's racing past. The early '60's racing teams used white and checked or flagged tops to tell their cars from the others in the pack on the track and from a distance in rallys. Racing heritage rules!

because it IS BMW Mini Copper; designed, projected and constructed by BMW.. Even the dealership is under BMW's umbrella. Get it?

I wonder why call it 'BMW Mini Cooper'? The Mac computer uses an IBM hard drive. We don't call the Mac an 'IBM Man' do we?

Rafdaganga 3 years ago 27
actually the mini cooper s gets the same exact mileage as a toyota corolla does, and the stock mini cooper gets even more. i can agree that you save 4,000 dollars on a japanese car, but on the other hand they have shabby crash test ratings and they just dont have the BMW quality of a mini cooper.

Why?? If you want a small, economical car why a mini-cooper? A Honda civic or Toyota Corolla is so much more practical. All it pulls off is 19mph tops more than an average sedan, and it starts at over 20k? Are you serious? Many of my friends who owned them had engine trouble with them, some were lemons.

Civic & corolla (exclude Si) is for practical family transportation, while Mini-cooper is a true driving & motoring machine. Let's motor :).

I was looking into a toyota (my dad is japanese so he is of course for japanese motors) but the mini gets the same mpg as corolla and starts at 16-17k. My mom who grew up in the 60's want me to get the mini...

Your first car, it really depends to me how you drive... but I honestly think kids should all start out with an older car so they understand how cars really drive compared to all of these cars with electronic safety and whatnot. i.e 80s or early 90s cars. ABS, TCS, etc. A beginner (in my point of view) should learn how to drive without those things to understand how they work and help you. But I think that way because I like to push my car to the limit a lot. I don't like the electronics.

I agree that a kids first car should be an older car but only because chances are that they are going to destroy it!!! I know my friends and I destroyed my first car!!! 1981 Olds Cutlass!!

Odiggler - you're obviously american (I'm sorry,it's not your fault). Did you not realise that the size of car a male chooses is inversely proportional to the size of his manhood? Of course not, you're american.

That is about the stupidest most ignorant comment I've ever heard!!
Since when being an American became a "fault"
I too like foreign things but the mini happens not be one of them.
Its overpriced, front wheel drive, less MPG than a compact Japanese that cost half.
In my opinion this car is for over-consumerized buyers.

I could only recomend it if you get the mini with the JCW tune kit. Night and day difference between that and a regular S.

Ride quality is not bad on R56(07+ cooper/cooper s), but make sure you test drive the sport package with 17+" wheel before making your decision, with 17+" ride quality can be an issue in places like NYC.
I have to say my baby perform beyond my high expectation: there is something truly unique about a mini in the driving experience. It can not be described by 0-60mph time or skidpad number, but only can be appreciated through driving it.

I'm a self respecting MALE, and the only time you'll find me inside a MINI its called a MINIskirt. I can just picture one of my buddies coming to me and saying "Dude I wanna get a MINI " I would Slap that idea of his face so quick it would make his head spin.

I much prefer the BMW version. They're only huge compared to the original - very small compared to other modern cars. They're far safer than the original, look better and have useable interior space.
