Nice to see MINI close to the top! I recently bought a 2017 MINI Cooper S. I’m a car guy, and it’s — by far — the coolest and most fun car I’ve ever owned. They’re not joking when they say it drives like a go-kart.
Get back to us when you have to do maintenance or repairs on that Mini........I suspect it’ll be entertaining. Good luck 👍
The Mini is a lot of fun. I” be got a red 2015 convertible, and it’s the perfect fashion accessory for my blonde wife. While it has a turbo, I really miss the supercharger my ‘07 Mini had
Right you are MINI man. When the paint started to peel on my 2002 red Ranger pickup (fantastic, reliable truck), I had just seen “Italian Job” and those little Coopers flying around. I said, “If I can fit into one, I’ll trade my Ranger in for it and use my old Suburban for my truck/snowplow/driveabout beater.”
Not only did I fit in it, I felt like a hand in a furlined glove in it. So I bought our first 4WD Countryman, turbocharged, white — named her “Marilyn” (white dress, nice hips) etc. In a few weeks, friend wife expropriated it for herself, saying “I feel so safe — I can accelerate or swerve out of danger like never before”. So I started driving her Highlander. Well, not long after I sold the Highlander and used it to help buy our second Countryman — red, 4WD, turbo, sport suspension (named him “Marlon”, as he exuded attitude); so now we were and His and Hers Coopers.
And I would add our approval to MINI’s high customer satisfaction rating.
In Eastern AZ, we have a canyon (Salt River Canyon) with an ingeniously engineered road through it. Every time I drive a turbocharged AWD MINI through it, especially the uphill part, I feel like I’m driving on rails, pedal to metal.
A brother bought a formerly owned (used) Mini many years ago; it became a money black hole, for many years until he finally gave up.
