2009 Mini Cooper S making clutch/transmission noise

Written by: georgiat on Jul 29, 2009 09:20 PM

We have a manual 2009 Cooper S with 20,000 miles on it. For about the last 7,000 miles it has been making a brief screeching noise - a bit like metal on metal - when the car starts off in 1st gear. We have taken it to two different Mini dealers in LA area, and both have said that they would have to open up the transmission to find the problem, which would cost $1800 if it was ... Read More...

Cooper Quality?

Cooper Quality?

Written by: klezmer41 on Jul 12, 2009 03:49 PM

This JDP report shows that MINI isn't great in initial quality. So I'm wondering if there has been a decrease in quality. Does the 2007 or 2008 have higher quality than the 2009? Motoringfile post Read More...

Mini's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month ... Read More...
