Likes and DIslikes 2010/2011
Had a 2011 Loaner for 1.5 days. Drove it 285 miles Car was fresh, had 76 miles on it.
Ran exactly like my 2010.
Things I liked:
-Tail lights
-MPH was constantly visible on the tach, even if you changed the temp/mpg settings
-Center speedo had 5mph increment markings
-The stereo had a off button right on the center speedo, instead of lower by the CD player on my 2010
Dislikes:
-Front lower grille
-If you turned DSC off, there was a light in the center speedo AND tach, not to mention DSC button had a picture, instead of DSC written on it

With gas predicted to hit $5-$6 / gallon this summer, I am loving the MPG. 31 on my daily commute and 37 on the interstate is AWESOME!
My son has an 09 MCS Clubby and I have an 11 MCS Hardtop and the improvement in overall build quality, ride and performace is readily apparent to both of us. I also find the 11 more appealing asthetically, but that of course is personal taste.

I must have the heaviest foot on the planet because even driving lightly, I have yet to average more than about 27mpg in my regular mini. Then again, most of my driving is in bumper to bumper stop n go traffic and my average speed is about 19mph. Beats my last car though which got an average of about 18/19mpg.

Edited because I shouldn't post when tired and pissed about car being in shop
My 2011 is in the shop getting the vibration problem fixed so I'm driveing a 2010 loaner.
Dislikes about the 2010
Less Power
Its a automatic (Course that would apply to a 2011 also)
Do not care for the controls but I could get used to them.
I personally prefer the look of the 2011 grill

My thoughts, hate everything about the 2010. Less power, horrible controls , Hate the automatic, the grill, just everything about it. HATE the 2010 front grill. I cannot wait to get my beloved "Red" back.
