A car that handles well is a car that runs well. With dynamic stability control and performance suspension, one could only assume the Mini Cooper would be a well suited vehicle. Although, as a resident of Canada, where we receive high levels of precipitation, it is important to have a vehicle that can handle these obstacles. It is difficult to judge whether or not it is a well equipped vehicle for these situations, without test driving it; many online sources say that the Mini has difficulty with traction control on slippery roads, where others have said it all depends on the tires you are willing to purchase. All in all, I would have to say the level of handling the Mini Cooper has can only be determined through multiple test drives, not unlike any other vehicle.

Especially designed for those safety cautious drivers and passengers: the Mini Cooper includes a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, automated parallel parking assist, and head-up display. Features to insure that you, and your passengers are able to arrive to your destination safely, including advanced brakes that prepare for a stop as soon as your foot leaves the brake. Also equipped with front and rear head airbags with occupant sensing deactivation, anti-theft alarm system, and post-collision safety system. It is clear, with these devices that the manufacturers had your best interest at mind. Another important feature of the Mini Cooper is its adaptive cruise control, keeping you a safe distance away from vehicles ahead of you. This entire device is built for your safety, and you can feel satisfied knowing you, and your passengers, are in the right hands.
As someone who lives in a very rural community, travel is necessary for any means. To get to work, food, or even auto repairs, distance is an issue. Yet, with the Mini, it is a comfort to know the expenses from all of which will not be added on to from my vehicle. With a fuel economy of 29/40 mpg, (12.3292/17.0057 kml), this dream is a reality. Although most Mini Coopers require premium gasoline, it is said to be worth it in the long run. If you decide to use regular gasoline, it is likely that you will not get the most for your money. It can run out faster, leaving you with a lower fuel economy, and possibly damage your vehicle's engine.
According to my research, and many online articles, the Mini Cooper 2015 requires constant repairs. Some of the most common issues with the cars are: failure from the Electric power steering pumps, transmission issues, premature clutch wear, leaking thermostat and roof, and that is just to name a few. While all the issues seem to be easily fixed, they are also ones that are harshly priced. Attempting to repair all of the issues that could occur, could result in a major dent in your bank account (sometimes to about 5k in fixes). Nevertheless, I am unaware if these reviews are 100% accurate, but I did find many sources that suggest areas of the same nature. Again, the only way to determine the problems would be to test it yourself, or even speak personally to a former or current owner of a Mini Cooper.

As someone who would probably be terrible at realizing how fast I am going, it would be important not to have a speed that goes to fast. With a top speed of 146 MPH (234.964 km/h), I believe this would be just right for me. With all the separate aspects that go along with the Mini Cooper 2015, I would have to say that I still remain uncertain whether or not this is truly my "Dream Car". It is a nice car appearance wise, and is equipped with all the right accessories that I would need, but it continues to be one of those thing that I must ponder over longer. Possibly, in the future, after several test drives, I can make my final decision.
