Good Points

Excellent drive, gets better each time I get behind the wheel, fun at 30mph or 130mph!Just as much fun as my old Mini Cooper. Handles well round corners and fast enough in a straight line to leave the boy racers behind you.
TLC package is great too.


Bad Points

Gearbox failure after 29000 miles!Water ingress in boot and squeaky brakes in the rain.


General Comments

I bought a Dark silver Mini Cooper S with the Chilli pack through the Mini cherished scheme at Rydale Cardiff with 28500 miles on the clock this March. Overall very happy with it although it costs a bit more to run than my previous N reg Mini Cooper! Rydale Cardiff offered an excellent car at a competitive price, gave me a great part ex price and 6 months tax. A very pleasing deal all in all. The car has developed a few faults in the 3 weeks I've owned it, a rattling noise that turned out to be a gearbox fault after a few hundred miles, Rydale agreed to fit a new gearbox, a water leak and squeaky brakes. Rydale Cardiff happy to carry out all repairs under warranty offering excellent customer service. Would recommend the Mini chersihed scheme to anyone looking for a Mini and definitely recommend Rydale Cardiff.
The Salesman I dealt with has the drop on everything you need to know.
