I don't know if you all realize this, but Mini is making changes to their cars whenever they see fit. They don't just do changes once a year. Yesterday a guy at the Peabody MA dealership told me that now the cars are made with a different seat lever, different boot latch, and the drivetrain has been fixed. I guess what I'm trying to say is if there's a problem, no matter how tiny, bring it to the dealership so MINI will know about it. Just FYI.
Fortunately/unfortunately I have nothing to worry about because I'm 137 on the waiting list and won't get mine till May!
Oh, BTW, I saw topics that the MINI is going up about 10% for next year. That's BS. The climate package has just been changed and went up about $50, plus a $125 difference on the car itself. I can deal with paying an extra $175.

Dave, great to hear of another New Englander going with the Indie Blue, though you should check with New Country if you want to get one any sooner. I just put a deposit down about 3 weeks ago and I'm expecting arrival in Nov/Dec. MOTOR ON!!!
