Question Quality & Reliability

Dear Minis:

For those who had their Minis for a few or several months now, are there quality issues that you can share with us (potential buyers)?

I'm not aware of any recall but pls. inform us if there are. Are the Minis reliable?

Thanks mates

Would that be the wood in the sunroof frame?

Cool wood in roof

Though it looks like wood it is a fibre mat that the sliding rails are mounted on that reduces noise and shock.
