2010 MINI Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6M)

This is my 3rd MINI, so I know the pluses and minuses. Stiff ride, fair comfort, handles like a go cart, great steering, easy to park, fun to drive and holds value. We use this hatch for around town ~~ grocery store and around town shopping. Perfect for our needs.

I'm an engineer. Quality of Mini is truly MINI. Inside it's cheaply made. Wife bought it without 'consulting' with me. As the result, traded it in 8 months later for Toyota Corolla.

I just traded a 2009 Mini Cp for a 2010 Mini Conv. Previous to these 2 cars I have always driven BMWs. I love my Mini. Rarely needs gas. :-)

Purchased brand new in October, 2010. Mainly got it for my wife. Have taken it on many trips to Florida, Chicago, Canada, New York, and others. Fun to drive, great performance, abysmal reliability. Have had it back to the dealer so many times, I’ve lost count. All engine related problems. Oil leaks, recalls, starting problems, check engine light, and on, and on. Engine was made in France by Peugeot. HUGE mistake. It’s been a money pit since the warranty expired. Rest of the car is great! Transmission (6 speed automatic) is Japanese (thank God!) and has performed flawlessly for over 100K miles. We have not abused the car, and I have never missed any scheduled maintenance requirements. I hear the newer models have a BMW engine. Wish we had waited.

I purchased a mini convertible with a bad clutch and no brakes. The dealer wanted a small fortune to do the repairs so I shopped around. I purchased a complete clutch assembly including the flywheel for a 1,500.00 and paid the labor. The whole job set me back $2,300 us then on to the brakes. I purchased drilled and slotted front rotors, new rear rotors, front and rear premium pads with hardware from Rock auto for $151.00 us and had them installed for $120.00 us. so for about $2,600.00 us I had a screaming mini that was quick and stopped fast. I love this little car. Remember ALL CARS cost money to repair. Stay away from the dealerships and you'll have an awesome car without spending a lot of money.
