OMG.....this reviewer, although cute, just doesnt get it, must have been an accountant in a previous life. Look, the MINI is different "by Design" If you want to be a sheep, buy a Camry.

Yes, the switchgear is quirky at best and it has poor rear visibility, but its not meant to be a Breeder soccer mom car...Its designed for fun, and for people that are capable of fun.....NEXT!

I have a Mini. The buttons are learned quickly. It turns heads.

Lots of people admire it and strangers ask questions. It gets

great gas milelage and WOW can it corner. Watch road race

vids on here against cars that cost twice as much.

This guys a prick, he always has a hundred and one flaws for every car he reviews I'd like to see what car he drives. The things he mentions are the same in every car. That being said if he wouldn't mention them no one would ever know because everyone is already used to it

Some people say this is a girls car, but I think it is for anyone who wants a fun drive.

@rowsdower12 i LOVE my Cooper S (hardtop), but to say Consumer Reports is in the tank is BS. Their complaints were mild and of course don't bring much color to the subjective experience. All in all, a fairly even-handed report by a CONSUMER organization -- not a MOTORING ENTHUSIAST's organization.

@mickeynraleigh and its quite easy to get used to and its stiff ride is what gives it fun

[rowsdower12]

@mickeynraleigh Totally agree! That's part of MINI's appeal. It has heritage, fun and its different. Its not the bland boring crap out there *cough* Toyota and Honda. its quirky which adds character. Its for people who like driving or cars. Don't be surprised if Consumer Reports say that. They are on Toyota's payroll, so anything with a heart beat is a no-no.
