After comparing several small cars, 2015 mini cooper S is the best for me. Before I made this deal, I have several questions and hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance

1. Maintenance fee. I hear that the maintenance fee of cooper is higher than some level cars(maybe similar as luxury cars such as BMW). Is it true?
2. Price. My friend want a countryman and we got two quotas through autopriceshare program. For my 2015 cooper S, the price is 23779, 2371 less than MSRP. I don't add additional options. Is it a good price?
3. Reliability. My last car is Mazda. It always has some small problem. It is really annoying. are your coopers reliable? hope some current owners could share your opinions.

Sorry for bothering you, Thanks

 

bought it last week, thanks

 

Congratulations. This is my 2nd MINI. Maintenance is free for 3 yrs, even wiper blades. I have had zero problems.

 

I look at my Mini like this. It's a car that's different than many others. It's more fun than many others also. Minis are either naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbo. The newest S and JCW models are twin turbo now. So if you look at it from that point of view. Minis are mini sports cars(no pun intended) So if you have a sports car of any brand you will pay at some point for routine maintenance. Enjoy your new ride.

 

Congrats ,


Post up some pics.
