I have had the most pleasure from this car, probably because I kept it the longest and have been involved with NAM

I really liked my 911 and my XKE

 

NUMERO UNO!!!! ICHI BAN!! NUMBER 1!! PRIMO!! PURE DEAD BRILLIANT!!!

 

Definitely the best car I've ever owned.
Definitely the best car anyone in my family has owned that I've driven.

 

I would say that it is the best car that I've owned after a few mods. When I first got the Cooper S I felt that it was a little underpowered. Within the first couple of month I got the CAI and the 15% reduction pulley. I also got the Kosei K1 wheels and got rid of the run flats.

Recently I got a dynotune from Lucky Dog Garage and I am extremely happly with the results. I am now putting down 182 HP at the wheels. I think that in a little car like the mini that's fantastic I am now able to pull past anyone when I want to. The car definately has character and with a few mods it is definately a head turner with the performance to match.

I love my MINI!!!!

 

Most fun car I've EVER driven, let alone owned.

 

I tend to keep my vehicles for a lonnngggg time, but so far it's my favorite under 200k miles vehicle.

 

the mini is the most enjoyable car i've owned. i tend to keep my cars a long time. it's not as fast as my porsche was, doesn't handle the same as my lotus did, but it gives me the most joy.

 

It's hard for me to disassociate my 2003 Mercedes C230 Coupe from the beautiful, hot, young Hooters waitress who used to occuppy it with me, but, aside from that my 2004 MINI was the most fun car I ever had. Hoping my 2007, presently sitting with it's siblings at the dock in the UK.

 

Since the MINI is only my 4th car, it is easily #1. I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX and while it was fast it was also heavy and couldnt corner at all. Waiting to go to the drag strip to have some fun really got old quick. Now I can have fun everyday!

 

It's on par with two of my previous cars. My '87 Camaro Z28 had a simple formula: Lightweight + RWD + V8 + T-tops = Fun (and I was in college at the time). I replaced that car with a C4 Corvette...what a freeway machine! The car was luxurious, very fast, and just smoooth.

The MINI is totally different and equally good. It's quirky (R53) and quick. It's blend of '60s nostalgia and contemporary design will make it an "instant classic". It's very difficult to drive gently. I'm still learning to trust its FWD/LSD ability at the limit. It's unique...

Happy Motoring

 

#1 across all categories, especially fun. My #2 was my 87 Camaro (V6 but still a lot of fun).

 

Behind my Porsche and 240Z, in there with the Corvette, Miata and Scirroco. It will never take first from the Porsche, but could easly nose the rest out if I can get the seat comfortable and it does not cause me a lot of problems.

 

Fun - it's at the top
Reliability and lack of hassle - my 200 SX Se-r wins that hands down... MINI is at the very bottom of that list

 

Mine is #2.

 

Definitely the most fun to own because of the uniqueness, the attention it gets, and the ability to mod. Also one of the most fun cars to drive, although I've had several others that matched it in that dept:

1981 Nissan 300ZX (driving the autobahns was QUITE fun)
1986 Ford Thunderbird Turbo-Coupe (gorgeous black car)
1994 Acura Integra (ever have a car that just fit you like a glove?)
1998 Nissan 240SX (beautiful emerald green with white leather interior and fast)

 

First by a LOOOONG shot.

I've had a Camaro Z28 ('84), A Plymouth Laser turbo ('91), a Ford Exlorer ('99), and a Honda Civic ('97). So there's really no competition whatsoever.

 

I don't own a mini yet so I can't say physically but emotionally this is the only car I have extensively researched and the only posting board I have ever been a part of a love it. I hope the car will live up to expectations when it finally arrives. Oh I need to pay for it first.

 

1. MGB First car I ever owned. Still do. Great clubs, great fun, great tradition. More nimble than a Mini. Easiest thing in the world to work on (which I had to do rarely).
2. MGC Not as nimble as the B, but a lot of fun. Smooth, fast.
3. MGC-GT Same as above, but all weather!
4. Mini JCW Fun, peppy, comfy.

 

Formerly owned/leased a series of SUVs....Ford Explorer (x2), Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia (x2), and a Honda Pilot 4x4.

09/10/2006 purchased a 2006 MCSc. This is definitely the most fun I've ever had driving. I keep finding myself saying, it's not just a car it's a lifestyle - new friends, fun, mods, adventures, education, and the associated MINI wardrobe.

Other than the SUV (we kept) for CostCo and HomeDepot excursions, I can't imagine myself ever driving anything but MINI again

 

I've never owned anything particularly exciting, so my MINI is number 1! Come to think of it, it' d be number one, regardless. I've driven a few 'supercars' over the years, but my MINI is the most fun to drive.

Zip

 

#1 for fun by a mile (now the long trips for servicing UGH that's another story)

 

#1 = my 1999 BMW M Coupe (current)
#2 = my 2005 MINI Coopers S (current)
#3 = my 1970 Volvo 122S (no longer have it)

 

Since it's between a 1985 Cadillac Seville and a 2005 mini....

hm...

that's a tough one.

 

Of all the cars I have owned, it ranks #1 in fun factor
#3 in reliability...

 

I've had a lot of cars, some faster, some more expensive, but none have been as much fun as my MINI.

I do admit that my Land Rover Defender 90 is my first love. I know I could sell my MINI and replace it with another, but I would never consider selling good old D-90 #1068. It has some rust and plenty of cosmetic battle scars, but the darn thing just keeps chugging along. The guy at the quarry was truly shocked last weekend when I loaded the rather small bed with 1600 pounds of flagstone and couldn't believe it when the suspension barely dropped under the weight. Few off road vehicles are built like this and restrictive DOT safety standards ensure that nothing like it will ever be for sale as a new vehicle ever again.
