uhh i dont know if this is the right place for this particular question, but does anyone here own a mini cooper s? more specifically the r56 model with JCW kit (i believe 07-present) i was wondering if its worth the price cause i consider it somewhat overpriced. and how it is as a everyday car. i know that most automobile reviews love the car, but i wanted regular peoples opinions. i was considering getting one in the future and debating whether or not it was a good choice for someone just getting out of college. any helpful comments would be nice thanks.

Read the review I have on the standard mini cooper. The link is in my post signature.

I personally think the Mini Cooper is a good driving car, although not terribly fast, but it does well in a city environment as it is somewhat practical. Don't get the convertible though, that thing is just for looks and terribly slow...

I think they're a bit overpriced, but still an overall good vehicle. Just don't plan on taking it for long drives, like 200 mile drives... have a friend with a Mini Cooper S, apparently not very good for the long trips.
