I like that my car is red and that it has tan interior. I like that my car has a manual transmission. I like that my car is just the right size for me and my family. I don't like that my car doesn't have enough room for a tall person. I don't like that my car trunk is not big at all. I like that my gas tank is pretty small and I can fill up with just 30 dollars. I like that the gas I buy can last a long time. I like that my car can fit in to little parking spots easily. I don't like that I don't have room in my car for certain things. My car is not child friendly and cannot fit basic things like strollers. I don't like that most adults of any size can't really fit in the back seat. I love that my car is small. I love that I don't have to spend much on it. I don't like that when someth... (more)

My mini cooper is a 2003 standard rally car. I like that it is a standard transmission, because it really jumps due to the fact that the car is so small. It can be a fun drive, however it also has a lot of complications. The car has a bad radio and has no way of using Bluetooth for a smartphone. It also has all the main buttons in one center place where it traditionally would not be in other vehicles. The suspension is nice and tight, along with the steering, which further makes this car feel like a rally car. It has a messed up trunk and the size is also quite small since the entire car is tiny. The backseats are very uncomfortable for other people.
Story
One memorable moment is taking my car out in the summer and driving on the backroads of my hometown with it. All the roads were windy, and this car hugs curves perfectly.
Pros
The way the car drove. It has a very nice suspension and great steering. The Mini Cooper that I own almost always looks clean due to the paint choice. I like how it can be a great advantage for driving in urban areas like New York City for an example. It is a very small vehicle that can get into tight spaces for parking advantages. The 5 speed manual transmission is very comfortable and the clutch has a nice spring to it even though the car is over a decade old.
Cons
The awkward buttons that are inside the vehicle. The fact that the speedometer is massive, and takes up almost the entire dashboard can take getting used to. The space in the car is terrible. It is very tight and has little room to keep a fully packed car comfortable. The trunk has such a limited amount of space and most times requires that the back seats be put down. The automatic lock on the car does not even work and the car overall needs a lot of maintenance.
