Thank you for adding me to the community

Hello all , I purchased a 2011 Cooper S for a commuter car to go to and from work in (120 miles round trip) and my Ford Super Duty was only netting me 15 MPG .
I didn't know much about them , but what a great little car I really like this thing . I'm averaging around 35 MPG and the fuel savings alone is more then paying for
my Mini . Its got a lot of options , runs strong , and is in great overall shape , who ever owned it before me must have really liked the car . I have already done a drain and fill on the transmission .
(6 speed manual) , removed the rear seats , (making a nice finish panel as we speak) put new sneakers on it and had it aligned .
I will say , the day after I purchased it , I disconnected the battery to clean the terminals and when I hooked it back up it fried the foot well module , I called the local dealer and he told me
it was covered under an extended warranty , I was pretty happy about it and he got me in and out that day , pretty much the best service experience I have ever had . Anyway , before
I get too carried away , I'm glad to be here and look forward to interacting with the group !

Nice! Ford Super Duty to a MINI Cooper S is quite the transition! You're going to have a blast driving the MINI and you can receive repair help here for just about any malady. Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome to the forum. The MINI should be an experience coming from the truck. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I still have my S.D. but since I got my MINI (3 weeks ago) I have only put 68 miles on it , that's a good thing !
