Smile No MAJOR Problems

I really have not had many problems with my MINI. A trunk latch here and a rattle in the speaker there, but overall it has not been a bad car. My MINI has over 24,000 miles on it.

So when you read all the complaints on this site, remember that there are some reliable MINIs out there!

Don't want to speak too soon, but after a buy back and a rejection () looks like my third MINI is a good 'un.

17,700 miles in our '02 Cooper CVT and no issues to report. Just came back from a 2,800 mile roadtrip to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the car was absolutely fantastic!.

Ditto for my new '04 MCS with just 750 miles on the clock.

Yeah, there are plenty of good MINIs outthere.

Good for you Bill, and hope your run of luck improves with the current car Paul.

My Cooper is going great too........does it seem as if Coopers are higher quality than MCSs?

My Cooper wasn't, and Abi's MINI One is the worst MINI I've ever known for trim (interior and exterior) problems.
