I use this as my daily commuter, year-round in Chicago winter driving with a 20+ mile commute on local roads (lots of stop-and-go). Other than a few interior squeaks from the dash, I have little complaint. I can't find another economy car that can be equipped as nicely and handle solid on slippery roads and high winds. When it comes to running errands, city driving/parking (even grocery runs) for 6 years we always gravitate to the Mini. Only major repair: I had the fuel injector replaced at 70K. Drawbacks are that it's a high-strung breed - higher revs, noisier on the highways and a bouncy ride on rough roads. Be prepared if you're a big coffee drinker -- you will need a good, no-spill mug

My Chili Red Mini Cooper S takes the Mountains with ease. Driving from Salt Lake City, Utah to Park City, Utah averaging 32 m/g plus including around town driving in SLC. From ordering my Mini Cooper S to receiving my Mini, the Murry of Mini dealership was a 10. I have had the opportunity to drive it in 5 inches of snow and no problems. The Lapis Blue Leather with Anthracite interior surface is dynamite looking. The Anthracite interior eliminates the plastic interior look compared to the silver color inerior.
Big Problem

The car has had a bad stumble from a standing start since I bought it. The service advisor at the dealership told me that it was "tranny slap" and a "characteristic" of the car. A representative from MINIUSA told me that they are aware of the problem. It is software related and also used the word "characteristic" to describe it. What's the difference between a "defect" and a "characteristic"?

the speed of the car is the most surprising thing. didnt expect that quickness out of a 4 cyl. I am 6'5" and there is plenty of leg room and head room. Safety feature of the car and recent rating of 4 stars is impressive
