Good Points
The handling of the car is fantastic and what else is surprising it is very cheap to run with 44 miles to the gallon and above all which surprised my the most it is very cheap to insure.
Bad Points
The only bad point is that parts can be expensive as they will be purchased from a BMW dealer. Also, to make your car look good, you will need to spend a little extra on optional equipment, for example chrome bumpers and rev counter (mini one).
General Comments
Overall, the BMW Mini One car is the car of the year (and the century) for me. I'm only 21 and this is a young persons car but it can be enjoyed by everyone. It's hard to pigeon hole this car as it really falls into a class of its own. The sales teams are fantastic and you get a really good test drive of the car before you buy it (unlike other cars). The drive feels like you are driving a BMW and best of all everyone looks at you (which is important when you're young trying to impress the girls).
Anyone who buys this car will not be sorry for it, as this car is more than a car it's a status symbol - and that is: 'let's have FUN'.
