BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Feel of a quality built auto, ride, fun-factor, speedy acceleration, & cornering

Cons: could have used a different color for turn signal & wiper knobs.

Bottom Line:
Mini is called "Pocket Rocket" for a reason. It handles & rides wonderfully for a sports car. Don't buy one if you are shy of meeting new people. Read More

MINI Convertible Is Fun, But More Charming In The Showroom Than On The Road

Author's Rating:

Pros: Overwhelmingly cute looks, quick steering, agile handling, increased sense of novelty.

Cons: Same chintzy interior plastics--now sun-accentuated--plus duller acceleration, poor visibility, pronounced scuttle shake.

Bottom Line:
It's easy to love this car for its styling, but its increased weight and poorer ergonomics make the MINI's already-underwhelming driving experience even more compromised. Did somebody say Miata? Read More
