The Mini Cooper Sport is fun to drive and a great value for the cost. I have many luxury features in my Mini Cooper with out the high cost of luxury brands including seat heat, climate control, leather seats, auxiliary port for my iPod, and navigation. The gas mileage on the Mini Cooper is very high around 32 mile per gallon. The Mini Cooper handles very well and is sport car like. The brakes are responsive and so is the steering. It is very fun to put the Mini Cooper in sports mode. The Mini Cooper has a very fun and unique look to it. The sports model is very sporty. My Mini Cooper hasn't been in the shop often. Repairs and maintenance are slightly more expensive then cars I have had in the past. The car has comfortable seats. I also feel very safe in the Mini Cooper knowing it has front, side, and overhead airbags. The car has a few downfalls though. It has very little space for passengers in the back seat. The Mini Cooper also has very little trunk space. The back seats can be folded down to transport larger objects but space is still limited. The Mini Cooper also has a lot of road noise and can be a bumpy ride. Some people may like to "feel the road."

I drive a Mini Cooper S. It has the turbo engine so I can just cruise in this little car to get to where I'm going fast and gas efficiently.
