Very nice and clean! Get a ceramic coat done. My son just had one done on his new car and it looks great.

His car is a VW Alltrack, bigger car, a lot more surface area. He got the wheels, glass and body done with a buffing out of all the dealership inflicted micro scratches for a bit over $700. The best quote when I looked for my 2 door was that same price about a year ago. It took 2 guys about 8 hours to do the car.

Compared to my 2015, this one has smoother gear shifts - almost unnoticeable. No car lurching when in Sport mode. But it seems to have less getup-and-go in the lower gears compared to my 2015. Also, from a complete stop, my 2015 would start pulling immediately after I took my foot off the brake - this car does not do that.

I can't seem to get the exhaust to make any noise, which sucks.

The lowest quote I was able to get was $900. But I live in NJ, so everything is ridiculously expensive.

Very nice looking car and a great price. Blue w/ gray interior is an excellent combination. The Iconic is optioned perfectly IMO (actually like the comfort access in the Mini over our BMW- our Bimmer, I have to use the Fob to lock, Mini). Hope you have many years of driving enjoyment with it.
