Good Points

Sporty little hatch back, 9.0 seconds 0-60
Looks fun and very fun to drive
Handles like a dream round corners
More options than any other car!
People say they are rubbish till they actually get in one, since i got mine 18 months ago, 4 of my friends have got them!

Warranty for 5 years!


Bad Points

Can have a few teething problems, but only if your an absoloute anarack. Slightly pulled to the left,BMW fixed it (*which is good) they fix anything for FREE with the TLC.


General Comments

The Bmw Mini Cooper 1.6 16V is something special and different in my opinion.

When I was buying a car I wasnt sure what to have, I looked at Golfs, Polo's, Saxo's, everything around 10-14 thousand. then my brother said have you looked at BMW's, I was oh MINI, what are they like? I wasnt a big fan of the old ones at all.

Then I went to the garage, oh my god how good and trendy do they look, even the dealerships look fun and friendly! The best thing was the different colour roofs, only on Coopers and CooperS. They made them look so amazing. Then I looked inside - SOLD! This inside is simply amazing it wont be beat!

To drive it is simply FUN! its fairly speedy... pulls best at 4000RPM from there your off. If you cant beat a car in striaght line dont worry once your in winding country lanes you will blow them away!

Safety - its a very safe car, lots of saftey features. Side and front air bags, designed to wrap you in a bubble. Pretty neat I thought.

Seats - very comfy.

Hundreds of options, pick carefully though... can be quite expensive! Chilli pack seems to be a wise choice and offers value, but pepper pack is still nothing to snigger at.

Lovely car, you become part of a club, inviting you to movie premiers and such like!

You dont know how good they are till you own one!
