Why I love/hate my Mini
Love first: Driving it is awesome, quick ,fun ,real sports car feel. Very easy to see out of, no blind spots at all!! Love the sound system, Harmon Kardon. Now HATE !!! gauges are impossible to see ( small letters n numbers) without reading glasses ! yes I'm over 50. poor contrast at night ,dark red on black when the lights are on. Oh but during daylight hrs, its white on black. What the @#$% are you thinking ? Clunk noise in suspension making me nuts , The dealer cant seem to "replicate", I have to take service tech for a ride to show him . Oh yea I hear it . Assured me everything is indeed A OK. Still clunks over bumps. $30,000.00 clunker I guess. I think they want me to go away and just make my payments and be quiet. Gasket coming out of side window !! Really ? BMW product ? 10k miles the windshield shows pitting ! No dipstick to check oil ? The radio is impossible to navigate , to complexed. That could be the over 50 issue, I'm sorry. 1/29/2017 Dealer replaced rear shocks , I told them that I was not going to take the car back until it was fixed at first oil change . Guess What , they found the problem !!!!!!! Update : July 2017 : Traded the Mini in ! Took a little beating , but I think it was for the best . No regrets.

Love My MINI
This car was originally not my first choice. I took one test drive and from that point I was hooked. I was looking for an every day driver that was also fun and I found it in the MINI. It really does have go-kart like handling. The interior is well built with quality materials. The performance is outstanding (I have the S model with the 2.0 twinpower turbo engine). What really sold me was the no cost maintenance.

Snappy Go Cart
This is a super fun vehicle to drive , responsive, fast off the mark and economical. 28K miles and no mechanical or electrical problems. Changing the oil & filter every 4 K as lot's of city driving & Florida heat. No mechanical problems in past 4 years. Added backup camera as difficult to see when convertible top is folded down.

Fun to Drive, Not to Repair!
I've had my Mini for about 4 years now, and I absolutely love driving it... when it works. The interior is very upscale and fairly easy to keep clean, my German Shepherd fits just fine in the backseat, and this car handles sharp turns and corners like no other. However, I've had over $20,000 worth of repairs and maintenance since I got it- it's almost insane! The car actually broke down on me within the first year, had to get the crank pulley replaced. Then a wire inside one of the headlight housings broke and the dealership wanted $800 to replace the whole headlight since they didn't sell that $12 part individually. The last straw for me was the dealership wanting $400 to replace the battery. Even the repair guy at the MINI dealership pulled me to the side and warned me that it'll only get worse after 50k miles... and I recently discovered that my boss is upside down in her MINI because of the same issues. So basically, if you're okay with throwing money at this car you'll love it. If not, please save yourself and look elsewhere. I'm sad to say it, but I'll never go back to Mini or BMW.

Brand new, within the first 9 months, Ive visited their service facility 8 times
1 speaker making humming noise, they claim it was designed to make the high pitch noise to sound more sporty. Plastic rail end cap snapped off and broke. 2 Found proof that shows them the noise is not a designed feature. They admit the problem and ordered a new amplifier from Germany. 3 Recall service 4 Brought it in for broken tire 5 Amp arrived, that was three months of waiting. they installed it 6 brought it back again, the speaker was never fixed. I told them I do not want to pick up my car until the noise is gone. 7 Went back to pick up my car, noise is gone. 8 2 weeks after my speaker noise gone, I got
