Do they still leak?
No.

Are the seats still crap?
My July 02 seats haven't squeaked once. There are no problems with adjusting them as they've changed the design.

Do the electrics (ABS, tyre, ECU) still fail all the time?
No.

Does everything still rattle like the clappers?
You may still get rattles but nothing that shouldn't be able to be fixed by your dealer.

Do they still all pull/drift left?
No, this has been fixed.

I've had a few rattles (hatch, seat belt adjusters, door buzzing, dash creaks) in my 15" wheeled MINI ONE which has slightly softer suspension than the Cooper ! Still love it though.
