2005 BMW Mini Cooper S review from North America
"Amazing little speed demon! Buy one now!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. What do you expect it is only 6 weeks old.
General comments?
I love this car. I advise anyone who is thinking about buying one to take the plunge. It is so worth it.
My previous car was a bright green 2001 Volkswagen Beetle, and I loved it dearly. It served me well. However, I never realized how much fun driving could be until I bought my Mini. It is very quick yet I am still getting 30 MPG with my Cooper S.
The interior is very refined, and the car is as cute as a button.
My 6'1" boyfriend can easily fit in the car and has no problems. The only problem he has is getting me to let him drive the Mini.
It is a sports car though. I have the 17" wheels and going over potholes is a little bumpy. But you should expect that when you buy a car like this. The trade off is that you can take a corner at 45 mph and not even notice it.
