Anybody have any good stories on their MINI?

Everybody posts when they have a problem.. Are there any of you that have had their for a while and had no problems? Mine's an 06 i've only had it since March and i took it in for a clicking noise which ended up being a loose axle bolt took 15 minutes to fix and I was lucky enough to spend the rest of the day on the lake. That has been my only issue

I think most people with no problems will be afraid to jinx themselves!

I had a steering column joint problem at 35k that was fixed under warranty. That's it.

*goes to knock on wood*

(I have an 06 with a little over 60k.)

My wife and I have put 30K miles on our Mini in a year and a half. The only issues have been one oxygen sensor under warranty and a rear hatch rattle fixed with electrical tape.

It's been a very solid car with a lot of character.
