How do I get Mini cars in GTA?

In general, buying cars in GTA is super easy:
  1. Open the Eyefind internet browser on your phone
  2. Click on the Travel and Transport section
  3. Choose the website that sells your car
  4. Purchase the car online
And just like that, your sweet new Mini will pop up in your garage! If you’re looking for a specific Mini, here’s a quick walkthrough of how to get it:
  • Weeny Dynasty: Buy online from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. Once you’ve bought it, you can modify the car at Los Santos Customs! 
  • Weeny Issi: In GTA Online, you can buy the Weeny Issi from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. If you’re in story mode, you can find and steal the Issi—no purchase necessary. 
  • Weeny Apocalypse Issi: You can convert an Issi Classic into the Apocalypse Issi at the Arena Workshop. Your new Issi will feature a Light Scoop Ram Weapon and will be rust-colored. 
  • Weeny Future Shock Issi: You can convert an Issi Classic into the Future Shock Issi at the Arena Workshop. Like the Apocalypse Issi, you’ll get a Light Scoop Ram Weapon—only this time, your Issi will have a brick-clad white exterior!
  • Weeny Nightmare Issi: You can convert an Issi Classic into the Nightmare Issi at the Arena Workshop. On top of its psychedelic color scheme, you’ll get a Light Scoop Ram Weapon and Rocket Boost. 
  • Weeny Issi Classic: There are a few different ways to get a hold of an Issi Classic. First, you can buy it through Southern San Andreas Super Autos and Arena War. If you’re doing Arena War Career, you can get the car for just $270,000 (that’s a 90 grand discount!). Finally, if you’re super lucky, you might stumble across a free Issi Classic in the parking garage of the Diamond Casino & Resort.
  • Weeny Issi Sport: Buy from Southern San Andreas Super Autos in GTA Online.
Key Takeaway Though most Mini vehicles in GTA require a purchase, you might be able to steal the Weeny Issi and Weeny Issi Sport if you keep an eye out for them!

Are Minis good in GTA?

They won’t have the speed of
Nissans in GTA
or the off-roading ability of a
Jeep
, but Mini cars are great for players who are just starting with GTA. They’re also perfect for anybody who wants to humiliate their opponents in Arena War by scorching past them in a glorified taxi cab—but don’t tell anyone we said that!
In all seriousness, Mini cars in GTA are fun, versatile vehicles with plenty of customization options. Though most Minis top out at about 100 mph, you’ll be able to rocket-boost your way to nearly 130 mph in Arena War. 
As Southern San Andreas Super Autos puts it, Minis are the “automotive equivalent of a quadruple-shot low-fat half-caff flat white”—and, for better or for worse, they’re here to “change the world forever.” We’re not 100% sure what that means, but we do know one thing: it’s hard to find a more enjoyable car in GTA than the Weeny Issi. 

The three coolest Minis in GTA

Here are three must-have Minis for your collection:
  1. Weeny Issi: With a starting price tag of just $18,000, the Issi is one of the most affordable cars in GTA. It’s a perfect stepping stone for Mini enthusiasts who are still learning the ropes in Los Santos.
  2. Weeny Issi Classic: The Issi Classic is a no-brainer for folks who want to use a Mini in Arena War. Why? Because it’s the only vehicle that can be converted into an Arena Car, complete with a battering ram and rocket boost.
  3. Weeny Nightmare Issi: By far the most exciting Mini in the game, the Nightmare Issi has a fantastic top speed, outstanding exterior design, and a color scheme that is sure to strike fear in the hearts of anyone you meet in GTA Online.
