Used 2014 MINI Cooper Clubman Consumer Reviews

Fun to drive but beware

Loved to drive my Clubman S but it became a money pit very quickly. Oil gaskets, and plugs and finally the timing chain went and took the engine with it. Not even a check engine light to warn of its imminent demise.

for preowned cars, do yourself a favor, look for complete service history, plus a thorough PPI, read up on NAM, mod up, and have a blast!

Mini with Major Problems

What a POS, always said before do not buy a BMW, Audi, VW etc because repair costs are so high. This is perfect example. Had a 2011 with 90K miles, great looking car, fast, but scary fast at times, hit a bump at high rate of speed the car jumps into other lane almost. This one started to smoke once in a while and then Oil pressure light kept popping on & off and no one could say why for sure. So we tried this & that but light always came back. Also alternator went out so had to be towed, $1000 imported alternator, then water pump cracked as well at the same time. Dumped this car ASAP.... mechanic told me they are only good up to say 100K miles and then they start to go, I now believe him. Stay with a Japanese car, at least they last, and hold their value better that this BMW/Cooper did. Only had it for almost 4 full mos and spent well over 2K trying to keep it running, good thing they are so cheap to buy, now we know why.

Best small sport car ever
