2005 MINI Cooper

The MINI with the Supercharger is a blast!

By Sparkdog (IN) on Friday, May 25, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 68,500

Pros: "Handling, throttle response, decent mileage."

Cons: "Rough (sport suspension), no backseat room."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"It reminds me of a Go-Cart but it's extremely expensive and refined compared to a the Go-Cart of my youth. Compared to today's vehicles though, I don't think it's that expensive. I love these sleeper cars that don't look like they can blow your doors off, but they do. This machine can go insanely fast and I've had a few occassions where I was surprised where my speedometer needle was indicating. I can wash it and dry it in something like a half hour. It smells great inside with the charcoal filter. I'd love to have a John Cooper Works machine where they've boosted the HP above 200. No doubt this is a niche car and it's not made for a universal clientle. You have to ask yourself, how many times do you find yourself driving a car and you are smiling when you get out because it's fun to drive? Its just fun!"

"I've had my Mini Cooper S since it was one of the first ones on the road in Colorado in 2002. It has amazing zip and maneuverability. Fun to drive -- handling is amazing!"
