Hey guys as my longtime car of a Saab 9000 aero died the other day after numerous problems in the heat of louisiana I started to look at the new 2010 mini s. Are there any known problems that crop up that don't fall into normal wear and tear? The nearest dealership/ service station is close to 200 miles away...are there any problems that could potentially cripple the car where I couldn't get it to the service station? Or do you think that I would just be able to take it to the local bimmer dealer for service?

Thanks,
Daniel

 

We have had the 10 since December and one trip to the dealer for a cigarette lighter trouble (no power) 6K miles trouble free since

Mini has free roadside assistance so if ir's dead tey will get it towed

 

thanks, well its on its way. i should hopefully have it within the week. 10 white cooper s with black top and mirrors, premium package, xenons.

 

I'm a new Mini owner also - mine is a '10 black Cooper S with white top, premium & cold weather packages. Good luck with yours & happy motoring!
