Some of you need to motor more . I've had only minor things wrong. Most I didn't even know about and the dealer fixed on scheduled services. ie coolant bottle leak and suspension bolt recall. Over all its been very very reliable. Just turned 90,000 miles on monday

3 months and about 4000 miles with no problems. I have the normal squeeks and fast clock, neither of which I condiser a "problem", just an added bonus of owning a MINI.

05 MCS, 17K

No problems other than rattle in dash.

SO's 05 Honda Accord V6 6sp has been was in the shop 3 times for a TCS light that would not go out and now the check engine light is on.

THAT is supposed to be one of the most trouble free cars you can buy!

In 18 days it will be two years for my 04 MCS. 32K and it's only been in for an oil change. I just got some new tires two days ago. That doesn't count does it?

No Problems

No squeeks.rattles or any other problems in 4800 miles. However the roads around here (FL) don't put much strain on things. All you can do is go fast and burn gas. Not very exciting. We have survived Phil Wick's MINI Driving School and four trips to NC (trailered up and back) which included numerous Dragon runs. Now thats a blast!

2005 MCS w/ 25,500 miles

Well today I'm at 25,500 miles and I finally replaced the tires but that is not what I am writing about. I got a rattling in my door! Its driving me crazy. Had it for several weeks. Today I figured out the problem...My wife's hair clip in the passenger door. Problem fixed.

Really though there is not one problem with my mini in 14 months of ownership. Well I guess I really cant say that. I did have the axle fall out of the tranny - towed it in...4 days in a loner (MC w/nav) and problem fixed. Recently my PDC has gone quiet. I need to take it in for that. But I'm not complaining. All the issues on the older years seem to have been fixed with 05. It does not squeak, or rattle or wine or anything else thats annoying. Those run flats sure were noisy....I'm rambling, its late, its a great car.
