my wife has  a 2012 cooper s convertible

we have had it since new it is a fun little car and handles nice

BUT it is not a good car on gas lol its a thirsty little guy

with the ac on here in NC it doesnt get 25 mpg average closer to 20

my m3 bmw and ford ranger v6 are better on fuel

and even though it has factory 6 year warranty bumper to bumper

it has been in the shop for all sorts of little time consuming things

and last comment even with tire rotations and my wife not being an aggressive driver it eats a set of

expensive run flat tires in about 30k miles at the cost of 1k a set

next time i will do all i can to have her get a new bmw
