I have seen the picture of that car.  There are others as well.  And uh,..technically speaking, it is not called a trunk.  It is called a "boot".

The Cooper is the most ridiculous car on the road today.   Why would anyone want to drive such a silly looking monstrosity??

The vehicles looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box, it is so toy like in appearance.   Besides, there are so many far superior autos that one can get for the same amount of money.  It is so small that it certainly would not be comfortable to drive on a long trip. 

Really, what does it excel at?   Nothing that I can think of.   Can anyone come up with something?  Consumer Reports says that it is unexceptional for reliability too.   While it is not that bad, it certainly is not among the highly rated vehicles.   I certainly would not consider a Cooper to be a good investment.

Girls do seem to think that it is cute.  There are a couple of young movie starlets in Hollywood that drive them.  But for a man to drive a Cooper?   I don't understand how that could ever be possible.

In sharp contrast, many famous Americans drive my auto, including many of the hottest male actors in Hollywood like Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, and Owen Wilson.

TwinEng, how many cars do you know get over 40MPG when driving at 75MPH?  If I keep it under 70MPH, it gets over 42MPG.  How about 35MPG in the city?  These are the numbers I get.

You ever been to an autocross and watch a Cooper run circles around Porsches and Corvettes?  They handle like they are on rails.

I understand the macho man has to make fun of the Coopers to maintain status, and that is mostly due to ignorance.  Not saying it implies to you, but as a general statement.

Ugly car?  Different, yes.  Try and mistake a Cooper for anything else on the road.  Some folks like driving something a bit unique.  How about this?  It has more head room and leg room and our Lexus IS250.  I am 6'3" tall and I have a couple more inches of headroom to spare in the Cooper, versus hiutting the headliner in the Lexus.  It rides better than our Lexus.  It will outhandle our Lexus.  It will stop faster than our Lexus.  Its traction control works as well as the Lexus and its dynamic stability system is better than the Lexus.  With the back seats down, it has more space for carrying stuff than the Lexus.  On a long drive it has become the vehicle of choice as it is more comfortable.

What is does not do well is carry more than two adults.  It is also not as quick in a straight line as the Lexus.  

Reliability?  I only have 30,000 miles on mine.  Not a problem with it at all.  Still nice and solid.  No squeaks (cannot say the same thing for the new Corvette I test drove) or rattles.

I do deal with a lot of grief.  People trying to run me off the road.  The car has been vandalized in our parking lot three times so far.  I have to deal with people like you all the time.  For some reason there are people in this world who just get pissed off when they see a Cooper and they have to let you  know about it.  I'll never understand it.  it is just a car.  No one is forcing you to drive one, so why the show?  Why should anyone care what some actors are driving?  I do not get that one at all.  It has never been a criteria for me when buying a car.  Is it for you?

One other thing.  The damn thing is just a hoot to drive.  Parking is easy and zipping through the cracks in the traffic is painless.  I periodically have to elude some redneck trying to run me off the road and I love to see them cussing and flipping me off as I shoot through a crack they cannot possibly follow.

You do not like the car?  Good on you.  Don't buy one.  See how easy that is?
