Best Reason to Buy the MINI Cooper: Handling
Great handling. I got the stock suspension so I could mod it later with parts of my choosing, but even stock the Cooper is very good for a modern production car. A 19mm rear anti-sway bar made it handle better than I could have imagined.

Other Reasons to Buy the MINI Cooper: Fuel economy, Driving position & visibility

Best Reason to Buy the MINI Cooper: 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.

Best Reason Not to Buy the MINI Cooper: 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.

Other Reasons to Buy the MINI Cooper: Powertrain performance, Exterior styling

Other Reasons Not to Buy the MINI Cooper: Price or payments, Powertrain performance, Ride smoothness

Best Reason Not to Buy the MINI Cooper: Interior styling
Interesting but ultimately frustrating controls. A/C in particular was hard to use with weird rolling action to change temperature/fan speed. Also, window controls, door locks not on door. Radio controls not intuitive.

Other Reasons Not to Buy the MINI Cooper: Ride smoothness, Front seat support & comfort, Rear seat room & comfort
