Good Points

Great fun to drive! Feels safe, very economical on fuel.


Bad Points

Windows leak water when opening them after a rain shower (been told this is a general fault).
I earn a good crust however, seems expensive on maintenance despite TLC package.


General Comments

I've had my Mini Cooper now for 4 years. Very reliable and loved it up until two years ago when I needed to have more contact with the BMW Dealership. Had to go to the dealer for a couple of things, lights needing replacing, windscreen wipers wearing out quickly (4 months!), needed tuning every 6-8 months as cuts out easily. These tamperings are not counted in the TLC package so beware! These sound like inexpensive minor aggravations HOWEVER, after going to the dealership for a new windscreen after a crack from a stone chip, I was quoted £800 (£800!) for a new windscreen! Something to do with "labour costs". When Autoglass do it for £50!
