“The mini is a great car to drive and I may have been...”

written by booths on 16/01/2008

Good Points
Excellent to drive, loads of feed back from the go-kart like handling, good performance and economy,

Bad Points
Bought this Cooper S new Sept 07 from South Cheshire mini garage. ABS warning light illuminated after 600 miles and 6 weeks use after a couple of weeks at the dealership replacing wheel sensors, wheel bearings finally repaired with help from BMW technical by replacing the abs hydraulic valve unit.
Started with bad dash creaks and rattles a couple of weeks later un-connected to the previous work resulting in the top dash being replaced twice.
Seems okay now but lost confidence in the car and the mini brand.

General Comments
The mini is a great car to drive and I may have been unlucky with the amount of problems experienced in the first few weeks of ownership but did have the opportunity to test drive three courtesy cars while mine was in for repair a cooper, coopers and diesel and all had dash rattles.

Feel now that mini is over hyped and over priced being much cheaper to buy in America even though being assembled in the UK ,and the build quality and customer service poor in my experience,you may be luckier but take a extended test drive first

or buy secondhand.
