Mini in general Reviews

Mini mini mini.. fantastic! i bought my first mini (cooper, pepper 2004) 3 years ago and i have been in love ever since. My boyfriend always asks what i would go for next but i really don't think any other cars come close with the look of a mini. Great nippy little car, great looks and small and convenient for a little run around. The ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Mini Cooper S in October last year and thoroughly love the car (even though I've rated it 3/5). If you're single or in a relationship without kids then the Mini is a great car but if you are ever going to require ANY leg space in the rear or the car or to put more than a few bags of shopping in the boot this car is ...  Read the complete review

I have wanted the new shape Mini since it was released in 2006, and last year i finally bit the bullet and bought a Mini Cooper S. My reasons for not purchasing one sooner was mainly due to the price of a "new" mini. A cooper S was around £16500 when it was launched and could quite easily reach £20,000 with a few extras, which i felt was ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Mini one in May 2007. traded in a BMW 1 so wasn't sure how i would feel about a smaller car. main reason was that I hade two sons wanting to learn to drive but ho would not be able to afford thier own car. Now way could i get insurance on the BMw 1 for them so hence the change of car. What a great decision it has turned out to be. ...  Read the complete review

The classic mini-an amazing car but also a total nightmare!I owned mine for 3 years before finally my bank balance gave out and i had to sell her..yes, her, she was Mabel, a 1992 Mayfair automatic in red and I loved her dearly even after all the embarrasment she caused me. First thing you need if you are thinking of buying a classic is ...  Read the complete review

The Classic Mini Cooper is part of British history and I am a big fan. That's probably why I didn't listen to all the advice I was given before buying one. I decided to write this review to give anyone out there an idea of what you are letting your self in for. Now I am not trying to dissuade anyone because there are many positives ...  Read the complete review

I have had my little Mini Cooper now for nearly five years and i still love it. Its getting the time now that i'm being advised to get a new, bigger car now as i am a tall woman and the mini isnt really the most practical car for me. But i have to say the day i have to see my mini go will be a very sad day for me! I have a little red ...  Read the complete review

The Mini has been around since 1957/1958 but they stopped production. However, it was resurrected in 1997 by BMW but the Classic Mini, may it be Austin, City, Cooper, etc. are still popular. Even more so than the new one, which are much bigger and aren't really 'mini'. The Mini even has lots of clubs, websites, magazines devoted to them. There are ...  Read the complete review

I used to have a Mini, in around 1993. It was around 15 years old, cost me sixty quid and kept on going. Well OK, things fell off from time to time, but I had a Haynes manual and knew plenty of people handy with a spanner so it was always fixed in a jiffy. Then I got a job in the motor trade and got laughed at, so I decided that it was ...  Read the complete review

My First Car or how to fit six students in a mini! This is part of Aefra CARS/MOTOR BIKES OF MEMORY motors challenge but I must admit that I've struggled to find something to write about. Although I drive a car everyday I 'm not an enthusiast to me they are a means of transport and little more. I do like some cars but mostly they ...  Read the complete review

With my Beemer in at the menders, it is time for the courtesy car on offer at my dealership to get a spin. Im talking here about the Mini cooper I had last week while the car was having its main service. It went in on Friday and the mechanics at my BMW dealer dont work Saturdays so I had the joy of a Mini Cooper for the entire weekend. It was ...  Read the complete review

Unless you have owned one of these little cars, then you won't fully appreciate what I am trying to put across to you. For the 'little car' that I refer to is the 'Mini 1000' We have very reluctantly parted with one of these little gems due to my increase in family as the one down side to my mini was that I ...  Read the complete review

THE NEW MINI the new mini looks muscular like the old one but more retro and a lot bigger. i was at the scottish motor show and the stunts performed by the new mini were amazing so amazing i feel like there is going to be an italian job 2 released i was shocked it was going along on two wheels doing superb handbrake turns and ...  Read the complete review

lots of fun with a fantastic little car - Advantages: small, cute, cheap - Disadvantages: not alot of space inside

A very good car which gets you to where you want to go! - Advantages: It is a very small car and is very nippy, It easy to get around in, CHEAP - Disadvantages: none

I have never really understood the amazing popularity of the Mini. Sure its cheap, reliable and pulls off great handbrake turns, but where's the speed, comfort and looks which truly makes a car great? Don't get me wrong, a mini is not a bad first car to have and even I must admit that the new Mini Coupe is nice to look at, ...  Read the complete review
