Before I received my Mini, the 5 speed transmission had to be replaced. After having my Mini for a week my sun roof shattered while I was driving. The dealership fixed both problems without a question. Is it just my bad luck or has anyone else had any problems with their Minis. Other that those two problems the car is great. I own a PT Cruser, a restored 1969 Camaro convertible and a restored 1950 Chevy Panel, I love neet cars. I hope that I will love this car as I do my others. :smile:

Just curious, what made your sun roof shatter? Did road debris break it or was it something else? Sorry about the bad luck.

No road debris. The dealership just stated that it could hve been a problem with the glass. Chili red w/black, stripes, and sun roof.
