Hi there

Had my Cooper auto since March, not far off 7000 miles now, and it's still magic. I'd echo the other comments in this thread - no worries, don't panic, just enjoy it when you get it! In my experience, it's a great little car and TBH I'm enjoying driving it probably more than any other car I've ever had (including Audi, biggish Beemer, Volvo, etc). Not sure about every trip being an adventure, but every trip is certainly a moment of pleasure to look forward to - although ladies can be fun too!

Overall, best value smiles-per-gallon I've ever got from a car.

Do I like it? Just a bit!

Problems? One slippy floor mat, and one small rattle that's now cured itself. Pretty insignificant.

Cheers
