2010 MINI Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
9 of 11 people found this review helpful
I Bought this car after having driven a 1998 Ranger for a year and a half. It was supposed to be my rliable vehicle. I bought it used and for the first month it was great. Pros: it accelerates well, can park anywhere,and has great fuel economy. Cons: closest dealership is 4 hours (300+ miles) away & getting them to do anything is like pulling teeth, repairs are a nightmare as they are way over what i have ever paid in repairs on any other vehicle, constant breaking down. I can honestly say ihave paid more on this car to fix it then i have actually gotten paid off on it and i have had it almost two years and only driven it less then half of that as repairs usually take a month or more to get done.

We loved it at first, the handling the materials, the BOSE sound, great mileage, superb handling! However, Waterpump broke at 48K ($700), and the engine runs very ruff , so loud, clanking- I think its known timing chain issue. Transmission started make lound noises when shifting and we are just over 50K.... Also, the inside plastic makes so much noise on rough roads, it's very annoying. The AUX input does not work very well. We traded it in and very happy with our new VW!

What Thrill!

Tired of "run-of-the-mill" cars. Wanted something different. This Mini S hits home. Still in "brake-in" period, but what a thrill to drive. Plenty of power, great cornering, excellent stability. We could not ask for anything more. Added a few options. Pleased with MPG, right now showing 29. Has factory turbo and boy does it move. Very pleased with this Mini S.
Like a little go-kart

I bought my Mini new in August 2010 from a dealer in Albuquerque, NM. I've owned a 1966 Porsche 911, a 1973 Porsche 911s and a 1985 Porsche 930, but I can honestly say my little Mini although it "ain't a Porsche", is a blast. I've got 50k on it and my MPG which I never have reset is 37.5 and my average MPH is 58.9 over those 50,000 miles. Top speed, 149......I couldn't get it to 150. Oh well, 149 MPH is pretty fast and it'll get there pretty quick. I truly love my Mini! Had a few minor issues, the weather strip around the windshield disintegrated which I believe was caused by the protective coating spray used on the windshield glass. The speakers on the doors are located just right so your foot hits it when you exit the car, the cover is cracked as a result. The pano roof gave me some problems on hot days, it wouldn't open. Other than those few issues its been great!

Run from Mini Coopers

I have a 2010 Mini Cooper S with just at 80,000 miles. I just had into to Cincinnati Mini where I have been told it needs a new timing chain, new oil pump filter assembly, intake vanos, and hoses, all for a price of $8,000. Apparently excessive wear of the timing chain is typical for this model of Mini and Mini Corporate will do nothing to fix the issue. While the cuteness and thought of go-kart like driving is enticing, the repair bills, lack of customer appreciation and service is not. Run from whatever Mini you are looking at.
