What You Hate Most about Your Mini???

I hate the fact it doesn't have cannons on the front of it to blast the stupid fat SUVs constantly driving well below the speed limit in front of me on the twisty fun roads... I'm beginning to think they are driving like dorks on purpose, its just too consistent to be coincidence.

+1 on wipers. The wipers on my (former) '09 HT and current '11 S Clubby are simply the worst I've ever experienced (though remedied nicely with some aftermarket alternativites - so I read).
Would also add lack of mid-thigh support regardless of how i position the seat (though I understand 6'2" drivers push the outer design limits; there are much more comfortable designs in smaller cars).
And the default, no-changing-it speed display on the digital speedo (not an issue prior to 2011, however).
Disclaimer: These issues are far-outweighed by the benefits of the MINI design and personality.

I think it's part of the greater SUV, Law Enforcement conspiracy to prevent us from having maximum enjoyment of our MINI's by driving them to the limits (ours and theirs)!

We drive slow because:
1) Most of us can't really drive fast, mine struggles above 70 on the highway.
2) Going fast on a turny road with a big top heavy vehicle... there's some pucker factor there
3) Sub-15MPG.. don't push it unless you have to
Also I usually pull off to the side if I'm on a turny road and I see a line of cars behind me, doesn't happen too often up here though.
And staying on topic:
I hate that mine's not here yet.

I haven't even had it a month, so not many gripes yet. Used the windshield wipers for the first time today, and that was interesting trying to figure that out! I'm sure I'll get used to it. The need for premium fuel
I'm reaching here.....gimme a year or so with the car and I might have more.

Both of these can be fixed...On a Gen 1 the doors can be made to stay unlocked at a dealer. Gen 2, it is part of the trip computer throught the button on the turn signal stalk. The sprayers can be easily adjusted with a small metal pointy thing, stick it in the hole and move the little ball.

Being the shock absorber
OK, so my Mini Cooper S with the 17" run-flats rides a bit, shall I say, "stiffly" -- and as a result, I'm pulling double-duty as a driver and a shock-absorber.
But I knew what what I was signing up for when I bought the car!
So I've got go-kart handling (good), go-kart fun (good), and go-kart ride comfort (not quite so good). But hey, two out of three ain't bad!
If I were looking for sofa-cushion comfort instead of fun, I would have bought a Lexus....

I have one it's GREAT!!! It was in the car when I bought it I use it every day as did the guy I got the car from. Neither of us had any issues with it.

On mine the mic is on the steering column. I think one of the problems is that it's pointing straight up instead of at the driver.
