Hey, everyone!

Well, Last time I was here, my '07 MCS with less than 50,000 miles had gone to it's grave - timing chain tore up, and cost me over 3,000 to repair. I had it fixed, and traded it in on a 2012 new Honda Fit, which I have been driving for two trouble free years, putting 41,000 miles on it. I missed my MCS terribly, but I had resigned myself to never having one again.

Then my wife decided that I needed a MINI again... I tried to say no, but I just loved my S so much, that I just did it.

So, I am now driving a 2013 MCS - bought it VERY gently used, only 9500 miles on it. So much fun again!!!

But I am running scared...

Should I be afraid? What can I do to keep this one on the road? It still has warranty on it, so that's good. Can I get any tips?

Also - are there any real differences between my old '07 MCS and my new '13 MCS?

Thanks so much! I missed this car like you would not believe!

Different motors, Supposely the n18 is more reliable

 

07 was the WORSE year , and so far 13 has been the best , so worry not, you got a warranty so motor on.

 

Buy yourself an extended warranty and worry even less. ��

 

Welcome back, less issues with the N18 engines. Post up some pics.
