I got my Mini Cooper as a second-hand car, which was low in mileage for being two years old. Since I don't drive long distance very often, the car is perfect for me. I drive myself mostly, so the size of the car was not an issue. I loved how cute it looks. I know sometimes cars can be aesthetically pleasing and not functional, but this is not the case for the Mini Cooper! The car is super cute but not frivolous. I have the basic standard package for the interior, which is perfect. The nicer upgrades are cool but not necessary. Performance wise, the car is very fuel efficient. I can get up to 24-27 miles per gallon on the streets. For being a small car, it usually doesn't take bumps too well, which is expected. I think the steering control of the car is excellent. It takes sharp turns well, which sometimes is important. The interior leather is excellent. I am huge fan of leather seats, and I love my interior feel. The interior design is sleek and modern. The unique Mini signature of having the giant odometer in the center console is a cute feature of the car. Most upgrades turns that into a GPS, which is helpful as well. For being a small car, the car definitely still holds some weight to it so it does not feel small and light, which makes me feel safer.

I love that this vehicle is small. It is a great vehicle for a single lady. I like that I can park my Mini almost anywhere, and I have no trouble getting into parking spaces. This vehicle also has great gas mileage, and I can go nearly 450 miles in between fill ups. The ride is pretty smooth inside of a Mini, and it is easy to drive. I dislike that this vehicle is so low to the ground. If I go over elevated roads or speed bumps, I have to go slowly because if I don't the bottom of the Mini will get scraped. I also dislike that this vehicle takes premium gasoline, as it costs more. There is limited trunk space in the Mini, which is great for getting a few groceries but not for hauling things. This limited space means that the backseat is not at all spacious and uncomfortable for people to ride in. My friends are practically hugging their knees when they sit in the back seat of my Mini. This car is expensive when it comes to repairs or service. I believe the oil change cost me around 200 dollars. Overall, this is a decent vehicle, and I would likely recommend it to anyone who is single.
