    5 Stars The best things come in small(ish) packages Review with images 23/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Performance; Running Costs; Looks (for some)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ubiquity; Looks (for some); Interior isn't as nice as the previous model

    The BMW Mini is something of a 'love it, hate it' car. People seem to be put off because you see them everywhere, and they appear to have become somewhat de rigeur for estate agents and the like. Personally I love them, and when we decided to replace our 4 year old Mini One it was a fruitless search to find something for around the same price that we thought would offer quite the same fun. We were looking to upgrade really. The Cooper S was what I really wanted, and competitors were thin on the ground. The Clio 127 is a bit cheaper, with similar performance, but just didn't do it for me. It ... more

    3 Stars My '52 Reg Mini Cooper S Experience 21/04/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Styling, Street Cred, Handling, performance, 0-60mph, Motorway cruising surprinsingly good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fuel Consumption, Maintenance/Running Costs, Harsh suspension, Back seat space, Boot Size

    Before I start, let be begin by saying I'm one of the biggest Mini fans out there. I've owned 4 Mini's in my time. 3 old Classics including a lovely R reg Cooper, and the car reviewed below. I have grown up reading Mini books, attending mini shows, have Mini t-shirts. I am a PROPER Mini Fan, so for me to write the pro's and con's of a Mini is a hard thing for me to do so trust these are honest words! I've owned my '52 Reg Mini Cooper S (Chilli Pack) for 18months now. When I purchased, the car had 45,000miles and since then I've done 11,000miles so having been through a cycle of MOT, full ... more

    5 Stars Cooper S What fun 21/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bumpy ride

    What a car! This little beauty which is so reminiscent of the old mini, goes like the wind. Quaint inside but so much larger than the old mini and the build quality is fabulous. The S is much more fun than the straight cooper and if you like to go fast then this is the car for you. It still retains all the character and fun of the old mini and commands a nod from other mini owners. If you want fun this is the car for you. The Mini cooper S has sports suspension plus which can make for a bouncy ride to be honest, but hey that really is reminiscent of the old mini isnt it. If you buy one get one ... more

    5 Stars Special review Mini Cooper S Works GP model 26/12/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Feels so special, luxurious front seats, fast, very very fast, bespoke alloys

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Eats front tyres, no rear wiper, no Xenon headlights & thermostat has failed twice!

    Have owned the special Mini Cooper S Works GP model for over 3 years now and have to say it's one of the best cars I've ever had. BMW only made 2000 of these back in 2006 and only around 444 came to the UK, so they are quite rare. It is only a two seater as the back incorporates a roll bar to save weight so it is not a family car at all, if ever the Mini was. Only available in thunder blue (a sort of blue/grey metallic), it has chilli red wing mirrors, dark grey alloys with red brake callipers, rear spoiler, special GP numbering and badging and looks generally the part of a special edition car ... more

    4 Stars Great but too much Weight, The Mini Cooper S 13/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick, Precise steering, Great Driving Experience. Great Bargains available for 2nd hand purchase

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heavy, Average Traction Control.

    A superb car, with precise german engineering, the Mini Cooper S, in my opinion is one of the most loved Hatcbacks in the world. With heavy, but precise steering to accuratly take on even the tightest corner and a heavy clutch/gearbox which gives the feel of being in a little racer. I myself have driven and owned a large number of cars including Aston Martins Lotus Elises and Lambourghini's. The Cooper S is comfortably in my top 10 cars I've ever driven. Every drive is a fun drive, a new experience each and every time. The blissful sound of the super charger wine with its low centre of gravity ... more
