Mini One Convertible

A Convertable mini one that looks like a cooperS.

Advantages: Cool (Less is more)
Disadvantages: Curb damage on the wheels

My wife and I bought our mini one convertible in June05. When we purchased it we liked the look of the mini cooper S convertible but couldn't quite come to terms with parting with all that cash so we opted for the cheapest option. We ordered a red mini one convertible with 17" S alloys, pepper pack, cd player and sports seats with black fabric. Oh, we also asked that the one badge be removed from the boot of the car. When it arrived we were so pleased because it was parked next to a red cooper S and it didn't look that much different apart from the obvious like the exhaust, and the air intake etc. Even the salesman was surprised as he had not seen a mini one with that spec (or so he said). Anyway since we have had our mini for 3 months there have been many fights over who was going to take it to work. Although its the bottom ...

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 really solid and very high quality in all the finishes in the car. The doors, paintwork, buttons, steering wheel, gearstick and all the bobbles on it just feel like they are really good quality. We had to pay extra for a black roof £500 and the rest of the car is off white, it looks really good. If you buy the Cooper the black roof is included in the price. You feel really safe in this ...

Review of MINI One

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 wrong. The only thing i think could be improved 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. ...
