Just got my first Mini, pure silver with black stripes! I love it!!
Made my drive to work 100X better XD.

Kind of a noob question, but is it ok to drive with the sport button on all the time? I like the feel of the car alot like that.

 

Howdy and welcome to NAM!

The owner's manual doesn't specifically address the sport button during breakin, but use your common sense. Many of us resisted until after breakin, but just watch your RPMs and you should be good. But in general, you're totally good having it on all the time.

 

Welcome to NAM, Levahddi!!! Do you have a manual or automatic tranny? If manual then use Sport Mode to your heart's content. If automatic, I agree, use it if you want...just watch that your rpms don't exceed recommended breakin limits. Do you have a Cooper or an MCS?? Either way, PS looks really, really nice (but maybe for different reasons).

 

My break-in period was only a week. I can't help driving it. I'm sure it'll be the same w/ you. During my break in, I didn't use the sport button. But now, I use it all the time.

 

Congrats on the car!

 

Congrats on the new MINI!

Pics...Mmmmm....we like pics.

 

Congrats on the new MINI. Nice choice of color/stripes.

Use the sport button to your hearts content. Motor on!

 

Congrats, do you have any pictures?

 

I have pics, but I can't post while I'm at work lol.
I'll get them up once I get home.

 

Full time sport button 100% of the time - no ill effects

 

Agreed - if stick shift use it all you want. If auto it'll kill your gas mileage.

 

Welcome!!

 

Welcome to NAM!!

 

Congrats on posting you might have a Mini and might be enjoying it. It is all circumstantial until pics are posted! WHERE'S THE PICS?

 

Beautiful MINI !, enjoy it !

I used the sport button from mile 1, and never drove without it during break-in. I liked it so much, that I ended up building a simple circuit that turns it on automatically, every time I start the MINI.

 

I tried my sport button last evening on my way home from work, and it was painful I couldn't get used to the touchy gas pedal, and it was very rough adjusting to shifting, etc.
