Not only does this car get great mpg, it's really easy to handle. It's my first car and I've been satisfied with its quality.

I appreciated the design of the MINI before ever driving one but driving one completely sealed the deal for me. Despite its small size, the car felt solid and handled like a race car. The car is especially good for highway driving, where you can use all six gears and the engine hums. But it's also very suitable for the city. It can squeeze into even the tiniest parking spaces and you can move in and out of traffic in a snap. Over time however, there can be issues so you might want to sign off around year six.
