| I think when people buy any Mini, they are buying a quality product and they are paying a premium for it. We dont get a discount when buying, finance isnt the cheapest (no 0% from a uk mini dealer).
So really you cant blame people getting upset as they have paid thousands more for a car compared to say a ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa and then to find the car is not working properly.
Of course cars do breakdown but I can believe and understand the frustration people feel when they encounter problems with an expensive brand new car.
Id also find it interesting to see how many problems a 1 Series BMW suffers compared to a MIni? Im not sure where this information would come from, but if the rates of complaints are similar then we can say a Mini is not problamatic car, but the whole BMW Group just operates this way. |
