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"?

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.

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
Love it!

Super Fun But Also Expensive to Own

After owning a MINI S for 2.5 years and 15,000 miles I can say this is the most fun car I have ever had. However, it has been the most troublesome car for me to date as well with $2000 in repairs, and that is parts only because I can repair it myself. Now, this is a car that was owned by the lead MINI tech at the dealership for its first 70,000 miles and maintained religiously since new. And now it has rust, yes rust on a 7 year old car. There are two big holes in the sheet metal just below the taillights. Keep in mind when buying one that you are buying a BMW product and thus comes with BMW prices for parts and service.
