I want a mini! But I need some info!
 
I have my heart set on buying a mini cooper in the next 6 months. I was just wondering if anyone can let me know how they feel about their mini after 6 months to a year, or even years, of driving it? All input is appreciated! Thanks so much! :)

2010 Mini
 
I l;ove my Mini and would recommend one to anyone. The handling is tight the acceleration is outstanding and I really like the gas mileage. I traded a diesel truck for it and was worried that I would feel to low to the ground, but it has not affected my sense of ride at all.:D

Don't do it
 
I have an '03 and it has been nothing but trouble. Never again.

Newer Is Better
 
Newer is better. The technology of today is better and more reliable. I guess I have good luck with mechanical things. Sorry that you can't give a good comment for your Mini. If you don't buy new you should get a mechanical reading on it before you buy. :D

Odd Happening
 
Has any body had this happen...
We had a bad wind storm the other night, which is not unusual for this area, and the next morning I went out to start my other vehicle and needed to get something out of my Mini and found both windows down and the sunroof venting. I didn't have the fob with me and hadn't used it for a couple of days. So what do you think....:rolleyes:

@willierock: Not personally, but my stepdaughter has reported that twice while she was using the car, she was driving along and without warning both windows rolled down and the sunroof opened. I have no idea what causes it.
