Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A real city car. Really one of the few cars with which to enjoy the city. Easy to maneuver, easy to park in any strait. Even if there are tall people it will be quite comfortable to sit in the cabin. Suspension is durable and stable. Because it has a low center of gravity, it is very stable. If something is repaired as it comes, it will last a long time and you will not have to come back to one problem often. For a small car relatively practical, for carrying household items.
Cons: The suspension is very hard especially when it comes to sports edition. Although there are lots of MINIs in Latvia, there are problems with the provision of spare parts. Most often the parts have to be ordered and wait, which means that the car will spend a longer time in the service. Comfortable car for two, but no more people.
