I got my MCS 6sp back in April and thusfar it's been great. I know that there are many more owners out there like myself. It seems like there are enough negative threads. So let's try to keep this one positive So for the new guy or gal looking to buy a new MINI Yes there are people out here who haven't had any issues at all.
thats good to hear! Im at 3K now and all ive had is somehow one of my bulbs in the rear wheel arch came unplugged...had to take the wheel off and all that good stuff to see
maybe youll be the first to 100K with no problems. good luck
...or maybe you just jinxed it completely with this thread lol
That is great I haven't had any problems either other than some trim issues. But everything is subjective. I can go over peoples cars that they say absolutely nothing is wrong with it and find a handful of problems especially fit and finish.
I just passed 13,000 on mine [got it on 4/18] and my driving is mainly highway. I had a loose brakelight wire that was quickly fixed after week 1. Other than that no issues at all.
I've got about 9,400 miles on it. The biggest problem was that it tipped over. Other than that, it needed a software update to fix voice activation, and now the dealer wants to put new exhaust tips on it so I don't burn my shinny shin shins.
Braked late for a decreasing radius S curve, causing the tail to come around. Over-corrected (tail came around the other way) and ran out of room to correct. The nose went into a dirt bank. I thought it was done, but it slowly tipped over on its side. Only cost around $11,000 to fix since it was all cosmetic. Nice to have insurance.

Also 10K, no problems. Also picked up in April. Good month!
I average 50 miles/day and have accumulated 9,000 miles since I was off and running in June 2008. It's been a great car and a pleasure to drive. No issues, no complaints...except &*% brake dust.
I've got 27K miles on my '07 MCS. Had a minor electrical problem in May 08 on the instrument panel and of course the ubiquitous melting intake scoop. Both fixed, great car and it is more fun to drive than about any other car I've owned since my first one in 1962.
