Should I buy a Mini Cooper ?
 

Well guess waht, My girlfriand wants a new car, I think about buying her a Mini Coopper, It think the car is cool, small, ecenomic to drive and we already have a minivan when we need space...

We didn,t got the time to go to the dealer and try one yet... I try to keep it quiet anyway.

Someone got one or ever tried one... good or bad experience ?

Since it is BMW, the car should be reliable...

Any advice ?

small, ecenomic to drive ?

:helpme

The funny thing is, the "new" Mini is anything but mini. If you want a compact car that's fun to drive, well built and safe, look into a Renault Megane.

Five things that look smaller than the new Mini (but aren't)

1. Ford Focus
2. Mercedes E-class
3. 1959 Cadillac Eldorado
4. Magic Johnson
5. Canada

Yep, it must be very fuel eficient, due to the size ? no ?

they are a really cool cars you shold go for it

the mini is pretty cool :thumbsup

So fuckin' lol ! ROLF ! :1orglaugh

'GET DWARVES AWAY FROM MY CAR' SCREAMS MINI BOSS

There were angry scenes and an embarrassing revelation at a German launch party for the new Mini this week. Sources report that Mini Deutchland boss Helm Käse arrived at the function and, on sighting some people sitting near one of the cars on display, immediately became panicked. 'Get those dwarves away from my car' he screamed, before hiding behind a curtain. A fellow manager eventually pointed out that the 'dwarves' were in fact normal-sized people whose appearance had been rendered dwarfish by the distended, cartoon-like design details of BMW's new small car. 'Helm is scared of dwarves,' revealed a Munich insider, 'so his reaction was only natural, in a weird sort of way. I think he was bullied at school or something.'

This isn't the first time the Mini's 'looks big but isn't' styling has caused problems. At a UK dealer conference in May this year delegates were ushered into a car park as two examples of the new car were driven in to meet them. Despite the nearby presence of, amongst others, a 7-series, an X5, a 7.5 tonne curtain sided lorry and quite a big Portacabin, the Mini appeared, at a distance, bigger than all of them leading some delegates to wail 'It's going to crush us!' and run back inside, crying.

'This is becoming a bit of a problem,' said an anonymous BMW designer. 'For all our UK-made car projects we decided to work in a classically British mix of imperial and metric measurements to capture that elusive combination of inept working practise and low quality for which your motor industry is known. I think we may have got inches and centimetres muddled up.' Those living close to Land Rover's development centre in Warwickshire, where another BMW-developed vehicle, the new Range Rover, is undergoing final testing, have confirmed this theory. 'It's enormous,' confirmed local resident Clive Rancid, 'last week a pre-production prototype ran over my house.'

No, if you want a small car buy a Smart ForFour. But damn, go for a BMW 330 !!!111

And the price of the fuel is so fuckin' high right now! :(

lmao@ magic johnson

I think the Mini is cool, I have heared many good things said about it. Only one way to tell if you like it though.....go for a test drive.

go for it....that car is awesome:thumbsup

I bought a CooperS this year.It's as much fun as a guy can have with his clothes on:thumbsup
The regular cooper is nonsupercharged so be sure to test drive the CooperS.For about 4500 more you can upgrade to the JohnCooper supercharger,,which is nearly 230hp!

I drove one from T.O. to Niagara Falls for the weekend when they first came out and it was great... Fun, fast, and handled like it was on rails. Got great gas mileage. Aside from a few of the interior components the vehicle feels suprisingly solid and well built as well. :thumbsup

Did I missed something, is there a NEW Mini Cooper that is bigger than the one we are used to see ?

no better not...two small and two unsecure I gues...

Why buy one when you can win one on my site. :Graucho

Yeah but it is for my Girlfriend so she doesn't care too much about HPs ;)

Ok maybe I'll take it sometimes for the fun of it, but it is for her...

:Graucho

If she's leggy, don't buy it !!!!! They are great but not if you've got long legs :(

She's 5'6" but yes she have long legs, and I am 6'1" :(

I'm 6' tall and there is plenty of driver and passenger leg and headroom.

:warning could not find a MINI Cooper

I havent driven one, but I personally dont like the styling of them.
Let your gf decide.

i find minis have less headand footroom than your typical aircraft seats. but thats just me. i'm 6 ft 2. I like a car that has enough room for me to receive head comfortably.

They have the convertibles coming out. They are nice too.
