A surprisingly fun car to drive

Although I had a couple of hiccups in buying the car, the vehicle itself is proving to be a delight to drive. Its the fully loaded automatic 4ALL version. It’s been incredibly stable and sure-footed during torrential downpours and the bad weather we’ve been having. There are only two bits I would consider changing. A more comfortable seat (it’s not the worst seat but the VW Golf I drove before this was pretty comfortable straight out. This requires more work.) and slightly less tire noise. Quality of materials is high. I only wish a better hybrid was more widely available.

Love all the features on the car, it's a blast to drive. One thing missing is starting it remotely

Bought this as a third car to get around town and take the dog, so this is not a show car. I do get great gas mileage, but the overall maintenance is much greater than I had anticipated. I acquired the car with +/- 28000 miles. The battery when dead a few months later but fortunately is was under warrantee. I do have to travel about 2 hours to the closest dealer so that was a bit of a hassle. At +/- 36000 I took it in for required maintenance, oil change, etc. I was informed that the right front motor mount had broken. WOW! It's not as if I abuse the Mini, but really drive it quite safe and sanely. I have treated my Corvette a lot worse and have not had that type of issue. The dealer said this was a commonly known mechanical failure in BMW's and Mini's. He even showed me a box full of broken motor mounts. So I'm wondering what else is going to surprise me next. This is an update: I've not had any additional trouble and things are going okay. This vehicle has turned into the daily driver for all sorts of things but especially taking the dog for walks, hoping, etc. Gets good gas mileage and handles well. Winter is approaching so if like the last I have no fears of driving in the snow.

High quality, strong, fun to drive. Expensive, but I'm okay with it.

Don't buy a mini, we are very disappointed on the quality of our car, my wife got a 2019 Countryman lease with option to buy, we pay about $650.00 monthly for it, she drives to and from work so it's about 2 years 8 months since we got it and has 62,000 miles , right about 60000 miles the sunroof cable that closes and opens the sunroof broke and since it had 60k miles when we took it it was out of warranty! And was $850.00 to repair it, took it to service and was told it needed new motor mounts 2 of them $1,500.00 plus we already replace 4 tires and we need to replace them again, replace all brakes and 2 roots I don't even remenber how much it was and now I've had to jump star it like 5 times In last 2 days, you can't get the battery anywhere because it's a new mini,call dealer so the closest appointment it's 7 days from now. Worst car Company I've ever dealt with, even with what I knew before I never though it will be this bad, really hopes this help somebody not make the mistakes we did.
