BMW Mini

Mini One a fun car to drive

Advantages: Solid, fun to drive high quality small car
Disadvantages: Heavy on fuel, not alot of leg room in the back

We bought a Mini One in 2005 for my wife as a second car. We bought it on the lease purchase scheme that they ran at the time. It works by paying a deposit, we paid £2500 then for 3 years it was £199 a month with a final payment of about £5000 after the 3 years or you can trade it in for a new one and continue the monthly payments. We paid the final installement. Anyway enough about the boring finance, whats the car actually like? Its great it feels ...
...keep everyone happy. Mini customer service is second to none and they are very helpfull. Its also worth buying the TLC plan, this is an upfront service plan and i think it only cost around £250, the service indicator in the car lets you know when the next service is due. We have had the car nearly 4 years and we have only had one service done due to the low mileage of the car. Money well spent. Downsides: There isn't many, it's very hungry on fuel ...

Review of MINI One

Why should you buy a Mini?

Advantages: great miles for money, cheap insurance, good looking and comfortable. extremely reliable.
Disadvantages: only four seats, not the usual five.

The Mini Cooper is the best car I have owned in my history of cars. Not only is it value for money as it is a quiet, powerful and comfortable car to drive, with great miles for value as a 1.6 petrol, it is also extremely reliable and durable. from behind the wheel you feel safe, as the car feels strong, whilst only being a small car you can feel it has power and class. The Mini is a classy and good looking little motor, with respect on the road as ...
...In my opinion, you can't get a more perfect car, with 4 seat its spacious from the back for a family of four or a young person and their friends, and you can fit into almost any parking space! so its handy when you're running late and there's only a small gap for you to sqeeze in! there's plenty of gadgets inside aswell to keep you satisfied, like 3 great places to keep a bottle or cup, and they're greatly designed so they cup won't fall out while ...

Review of MINI Cooper

Best car I've ever owned was a Mini Cooper

Advantages: Fun, great image, reliable, quick, bullet proof
Disadvantages: Its no people carrier

...is also very good as is the standard stereo unit. Run flat tyres £150 to replace. BMW quality with bulletproof paintwork. Servicing can be on the more expensive side but servicing at a Mini dealership is 5 star. Buy one and ditch the saloon, Grandad! These are great cars! ...

Review of MINI Cooper

bmw mini one

Advantages: to many to state.
Disadvantages: heavy steering

bmw mini one was the first car i ever brought and to be honest i wish i started with something a little cheaper then maybe changed car a few time to experience how other cars drive and then gone to a mini. only because i now know my next car WILL be another mini. One of the best features is the run on flats. when your tyre pressure goes below what it should be, the car shows you a flat tyre sign and a beebing sound, so you know that there is something ...
...is the steering i find it a bit heavy compared to other cars but would not hold that against the car. Handle brillianly at a round about!!! The bmw mini, well all mini's are stunning looking car.i love evey minute driving my mini. in my opinion this is the best car ever made. ...

Review of MINI One

I always wanted a mini cooper...

Advantages: Look great, speedy, economical on fuel
Disadvantages: No space, expensice to fix, suspension is so low!

...started driving i wanted a mini cooper, the way they look, the films they were in, the famous people that were driving them. I just thought they were the best looking car on the road. I have now been driving for 6 years and have had my mini cooper for a year and a half. I still think they are one of the best looking cars on the road with no doubt, the accessories that are available for you to tailor your mini to what you want are amazing. The cars ...
...something that happens on all mini coopers. The suspension is very low, when ever you hit anything in the road, you feel like you are detroying the bottom of your car. Its very noisy. It is also very noisy when driving down motorways or anywhere at a fast speed for a length of time. This can be slightly annoying if you try to take phonecalls on your hands free. You sound like your on an aeroplane. They are a very small car, because of the quality ...
