I'd like to say hello to everyone. I am originally from Seattle (Tacoma), but I moved to Tokyo, Japan a little over 3 years ago. I am on the market for a Cooper S with a JCW kit. Is a Cooper S with that kit pretty reliable?

 

Hello! Welcome to NAM!

Sure they are very reliable as are standard Cooper's and Cooper S's. The JCW kit has full factory warranty so no worries about it having problems.

 

Welcome to NAM reliability is great,
but some have minor issues here and there.

 

Thanks for the info! I test drove one a couple of weeks ago. The only problem I had was getting used to shifting with my left hand!!
