Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. Been reading it for the last 3 weeks. Lot of great info on here. I have always liked the Mini. My friend Steve bought a '05 S about 2 months ago. Last Sat. He let me borrow it for a few hours. Needless to say i am bitten. I loved the way it felt, the way it handled, the comfort and roomfor a go-cart!! I am definately getting one. Waiting till i find the right one. After reading the forum i am finding the '02-'03s with several very expensive repair problems, tranny, power stering pump, clutches going out with as little as 25,000 miles, and poor service from BMW. Can anyone address these issues i have been reading about? or are they the exceptions? Before i take the leap i would like some input from owners. Hope you have good news as i really enjoyed this little car. Wendell
