Well as everyone is always so helpful on this site thought I would give you all plenty of feedback on my 4th MINI.
Well HB/HB looks exceptional I know its mine but I think it is the best looking MINI you can buy. The photos just don’t do it justice as others had said. I will post them in my gallery. It is just beautiful in the sun. If you not sold on it go and have a look at one!!!
Here is some feedback so far:
1. Engine, exhaust and supercharger sound better than previous model and the exhaust pops much more than previously.
2. The gearbox is a revelation so much better than October 03 car. It is wonderful and probably the best gearbox I have ever used!
3. The Sony F7500 looks and sounds awesome my dealer charged a whopping £100 to fix it but the actual unit only cost £173 so cheaper than MINI’s £400 charge. My dealer said he is now supplying more Sony units than those from MINI and I can see why.
4. The chrome interior makes it look awesome and more classy and goes well with the alloy patina.
5. Anthracite headlining looks great I do think £100 is expensive but all the pillars are done as well and it doesn’t make it too dark even with darkened glass.
6. The rear view mirror is much better due to the size.
7. The arm rests on the door are nice but make putting things in the cubby hole difficult!
8. I prefer the three spoke wheel for use than the two.
9. Ride is more compliant and handling better than the last even though Pirellis aren’t considered the best choice for the Cooper S.
10. Xenons looks much smarter.
11. Don’t’ like clock positions or the fact you have to scroll to get to the odometer.
Every MINI I have bought has got better and better and this one you can’t stop smiling look inside or out and driving it. BRILLIANT!

your 4th mini?
do mini's have reliability problems.... because many people post here getting new mini's but are previous owners of mini's alrdy?
if they were good why would people get new ones all the time specialy a 4th one after such a short time since the mini's came out.
