MINI (Many Improvements Needed Immediately)!

I loved my fire engine red, 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman until it started to have numerous mechanical issues, (i.e. timing chain, brakes, battery, and spark plugs causing the cylinders to miss fire). Additionally, I had to purchase new tires within two months of buying the car only 25k on it, and had to fix the driver's side and sunroof's window seals. I did not expect nor anticipate the cost to repair all of the issues, (around $4000). By the time it hit 42K, I had to fix all of these things. I am so over it, and most of these things should not have gone out! Very disappointed in Mini at the exuberant amounts they charge for parts and labor. Not a reliable vehicle at all! :-(

Mini Cooper BIG problems

Fast and fun car to drive around town. Very noisy on highway driving. My biggest problem is the repairs. Anything and everything that can go wrong with this car has gone wrong. Electronic shifter, rear door release went out after a car wash, thermostat, water pump, water pump discharge pipe, drive belt, seat belt module, hood latches, timing chain tensioner, valve cover gasket, vacuum seal. The crazy thing is you can find videos or instructions on how to fix all of these items yourself. That's because so many people have these problems and don't want to pay the ridiculous Mini Cooper repair costs. BMW engineer combined with British craftsmanship equals a car that breaks down a lot and costs an arm and a leg to repair.

I have owned 2 Mini's in the past so I knew what I was getting into when I shopped for a Clubman S. Space is wonderful for a Mini. Be real. No one cross shops a Suburban and Mini. I have taken two road trips in my Mini and I love every moment in it. It had way more than enough power in the Col. mts, yet good fuel economy (36 hwy, 26 city). I had 2 adults with about 4 duffel bags, all of which stowed nicely in the rear. The car is quick, amazingly fun to drive, looks cool and is comfortable. Negatives are small cup holders , but way better than the past. Controls are switches like a plane but I like that. If you're attracted to a Mini. Just go get one and let the fun begin! Join a club, too!

With the non-turbo and manual 6 speed it is a fun little car in the twisties, enough umph to take the up hill curves. For us it was a grocery getter but the grocery store was 15 miles up and down country two lanes, ideal driving for this car. If you are in town, get an automatic and turbo, non turbo with auto is under-powered. If you're young and limber it is fine for road trips, if you a bit beyond middle age get something a bit bigger and easier to get in and out of.

This is my first Mini and I have really enjoyed it so far. The Clubman version offers just the right amount of extra space for me. I am an avid bowler and can easily fit two two-ball bags in the back without lowering the seats. The extra space in the rear seating area is perfect for the grand kids and occasional adult. In general the interior is comfortable but there are few quirks. I don't like the placement of the power window controls which are right in back of the cup holders. With cups in the holders you can't reach the controls. All in all a great little car with good pep and super economy: Averaging 28+ mpg in city driving.
