Made the move to MINI!!
Hello, all!
Made the move to a 2013 Mini Cooper S Countryman yesterday! Car is Brilliant Copper with black interior and we're LOVING it so far! DW will be using it as her primary vehicle (if I can get out from behind the wheel!)
The scoop on us:
Jeff and Peggy
Central Florida
Also love to camp in our RV (on the IRV2 forums - same User ID) and ride our Cam Am Spyder (on the SpyderLovers forum under RyderJCU)!!!!! Choices, choices, choices!
Looking forward to many happy miles in our MINI and will post pics as soon as I can!
Give me a shout back!

Do not take my experience into consideration; however, take Consumer Reports, which coincides with my experience:
Consumer Reports
Cars you’d be foolish to buy
Reliability, satisfaction, and test scores knock out these contenders

Worst used car: Mini Cooper S
When it comes to choosing a used car, you can put the odds on your side by choosing a model that performed well when new and has a great reliability track record. Of course, reliability hiccups can happen with any used car, but the Mini Cooper S has the worst history among all cars we have tracked over the past decade. Sure, the car is cute and delightfully entertaining, but year after year, the likelihood of having a problem that requires a repair is heartbreaking. And among the 17 trouble spots we track, engine major, engine minor, engine cooling, fuel system, body integrity, and body hardware have issues at an alarming rate. Although Consumer Reports often recommends skipping an extended warranty, the Mini Cooper S is a case where the investment would be a good hedge against potential problems.
