I already have an "original" '70-1/2 Z, so maybe I should get the latest one, but it would cost a lot more to buy, maintain and insure. In other words, a 350Z isn't cheap, but I am. I'm willing to hurry up and wait to give MINI some time to rectify all the problems. It's not wise to buy any new car model until it has been around for at least a year.

mr.bill, for once I agree with you. The Dealer I have dealt with, although pleasant enough, just doesn't share the same passion as myself. Maybe that's to be expected. It's just frustrating, and that frustration tends to block out any rational thought processes. I have *****ed and winged on this forum about many issues, not least of which, the wait....... the only other vehicle I would step into if my thought process finally goes off the deep end is an Audi TT. There's just nothing else available in Oz that stirs my soul enough. The styling of the new MINI, and it's dynamic abilities are in my mind, sensational. So I guess I'll wait.

As for the problems, it appears the majority have been or are in the process of being fixed, and all within 12 months of release.

Maybe it's time to wander into your BMW dealership again ?

cheers
