Calling All MINI Owners

[TRDGT]

Thinking about a Mini and will take a test drive next Wednesday. Just wonder what you owners have and what to watch out for.

i doubt you will see a mini owner on here.. they are mostly nissan/honda/toyota fanboi's in here. Well a few ford fanbois'.

I personally will get a fully loaded CooperS with the SatNav. I just can never make up my mind on the color combination.

im considering getting one... fully loaded cooper s w/ all 3 packages on it comes out to just over 25 grand... not bad if you plan on leasing it... but if you buy one outright, i think there are other things slightly used you could get for 25grand, like an m3 or a4 or a6 or e320

my roomie had one, it was great Mini S got it used, had the middle S package never had a prob with it

I have a MINI Cooper. All three packages, the normal stuff. I have had very few problems. A thermostat sensor went, but that was fixed quickly. I love mine. I have put 10,000 miles on int since Dec.

You can get the same output from an underdrive pulley and intake.
