2009 Mini Hardtop Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by chrisarmada
Member5173
Handling
You can do no wrong in this car. Best handling, most fun car on the road. Car is balanced with extreme handling, braking and power.
Powertrain performance
The JCW is very fast and efficient. The transmission is massaged to shift smoothly and quickly
Exterior styling
Unique clean styling that does not change from year to year like a toyota.
Feature availability
More features should be standard. They nickel and dime you on the options excessively, and the design is not aftermarket friendly if you want to take a different route.
Price or payments
It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. The build quality is better so I guess that is what you are paying for.
Powertrain performance
The clutch is the weak link. With a stronger clutch the 0-60 time would even improve.
Ride smoothness
If you are not pounding the canyons the car is pounding you on the freeway. The ride quality is part of the mini mystique so I go with it, but It is possible to have handling that good without the pounding.
