Cheapest Quality Car Ever After The Pacer

There's isn't a single area of design that they didn't use the cheapest parts & components possible. From having to 3-5 quarts/ mo into the Renault motor, to weather stripping & roof mounted antenna body having it's plastic disintegrate in the sun, the car was a constant service nightmare. Both in terms of how much it was in the shop to what they would cover info the warranty, like window gaskets that leak water into the car, seriously? If you own one get rid of it. If don't therm never do.

Constantly breaking down. Could not trust it. Very expensive to fix .

Bought a used mini. Loved it at first. The manual is great and you can get speed at through quick shift. The downside, mine was constantly in repairs. I had to be towed about three times a year. At least. Very very expensive to repairs. Don’t trust them very far.

So many problems

Bought the car used, one owner at 25k miles. Not bad, right? Ok, In one year of ownership I had the front left, and both back taillights replaced. The housing fused together and couldn't replace the lights. The fuel injector had to be replaced within a month. The temperature regular had to be replaced around 6 months. Lots of engine replacements. I bought the car with good insurance so I've had to pay the deductible only a couple times. But such a hassle to drop off and rent a car till the parts arrive. Car is still under 50k.

Fun to drive

This Mini Cooper S is a fun car to drive. With that being said repairs and normal maintenance is expensive. For example, oil changes run from $140 to over $200 because of the difficulty in changing the oil filter. Several engine parts are plastic, not durable, and are very expensive. There is very little to no noise reduction which makes it very loud while driving. This two door is very small with little room on the inside.

a robust road companion

It has been a robust and responsive road companion over several years and over 64,000 miles, despite some recalls in its early years and a significant repair covered by warranty. Its versatility has been thoroughly utilized and its safety under challenging road conditions has been appreciated

Fun Car, Costly to maintain

this car a boat loads of fun to drive but often needs repair. Maintenance on this vehicle is often costly but the base price is low enough to make it worth owning! If i had to go back and buy another one I definitely would!

Versatile and sturdy fellow traveler on the road, with just that bit of zest and fun. Also its economical size is a plus point when it comes to parking

My version of the MINI is the Countryman. I did drive the more common MINI for 10 years and grabbed this one "hot off the assembly line" in 2011...It did have some recalls due I think to rushing it off the assembly line. but it is now going on its 7th years and still providing zesty, sturdy and versatile travel.and transport , with its collapsible rear seats.

Alright but could be better

Obviously as a bmw engine it’s a very complicated engine, to find the serpentine belt is hard enough without jacks as an example. Had quite a few issues but it’s an older very used car so it’s expected in the end. However it is very good fun, decently economical, if you’re looking for a driver’s car, or a learner car this car is good. However not so good if you’re trying to make it a fix yourself kind of thing and have no experience.

Great little car

Love my Mini Cooper. Drives very well. Has great weight. Most small cars do not. The only thing you have to get used to is expense. Keeping it in good running condition you have to maintain it at peak condition. The other thing I don’t like is that it’s sits a bit to low. Does not drive well in snow condition. Otherwise it’s a great car on gas and size. Parking is easy as well.

Love the Mini Cooper S

Mini Cooper S not a car for all it is more like a pet, it needs unconditional love but expect to enjoy it immensely and have no regrets even in those painful moments. The cooper is obedient on curves quick to respond and just fast enough to gain some respect.

2011 Mini Clubman

I absolutely love my car. It performs, its comfortable even for my 6’4” brother in law, and it’s hard to imagine driving anything else when it comes to mileage and just knowing it can go wherever I need to. Even in rough country roads. Every time I think I want a new car I wash it and it’s just as ‘cool’ as the day I bought it new.

My yellow MINI

Love my MINI for a lot of reasons, not the least of which it is yellow with black racing stripes! It is outstanding on the streets and roads...a head turner!
