Mini Cooper 3 dr Hatchback

Comfortable, fairly economical but suspension firm

Update 03/2017

We have covered 30 k miles over the last 27 months without even a hint a problem. 16" wheels

Does everything well without being exceptional in any one area. Ride is jittery on uneven surfaces

Update : 03/2017.- over next 20k miles experienced following faults
1. Thermostat
2. Timing Belt and tensioner and tensioner guides
3. Water pump, oil pump, vacuum pump
4. New shocks all round
Total bills in excess of GBP 2800 Requires new "camshaft kit" at another GBP1500.

Conclusion - thoroughly unreliable between 30-50k miles. May look good but frankly , despite being well finished inside, mechanically it is awful. Be very careful about buying one if it has done over 30k miles. Will not consider again.

Over a six month period. Visited mini 4 times.
