Goodbye sweet Mini

[topsy]

I have to say a farwell to my Mini.

My dearest other half has just agreed a deal on the new peugeot 206 GTI 180..

What can i say, we have had so many problems with the Cooper S, and
in the end, however many times the dealer will have it in to try and fix, patience has worn too thin and its going this weekend.
I feel sad, frustrated and may need counselling to drive a Peugeot.
Someone help and make me feel better about this.

ps do Peugeot have a website like this ????

It must have been bad to get a Pug, but from speaking to AA people they seem to think the 206 is very reliable, and I guess they should know!

don't worry you're not alone. I've been through two in 12 months because of problems - hopefully no 3 will stick around!

Well the main problem was the loss of power with EML and Engine lights. It was dangerous and very annoying. It happened 9 times in the first year. I was afraid of driving this car.
Other were leaks, noises, bad adjustment of the doors and windows, failure of the electronic clock, and, of course, the ominous service of BMW Spain. Once they lost my Mini. They did not find it during almost one hour!
