Default coolant system reviews
Brand new to the forum. Looking to pick up an '06 COOPER S. I noticed in Consumer Reports states that pretty much all model years except the newer '08/'09 models reports coolant / water pump isues as a VERY COMMON occurance. Would you agree/disagree?

If so, what is the typical reoccurance and cost of repair?
