R56 Most Miles
I have a 5 mile commute. We have 4 kids, so when we go on trips, it usually isn't with the MINI. (Plus, I was out of commision for 2 months due to surgery).
A slew of electrical/electronics issues, unbelievable rattles, a passenger seat with intermittent "memory", an upgraded "HiFi" which my clock radio out-performs, and a dealer which NEVER has a Mini loaner available (I get Enterprise PiTiful Cruisers and Hounddogs) and ALWAYS claims they found nothing wrong.

I may be tempting fate to suggest my Mini has been bulletproof, but after I started this thread, my wife called to say that a red warning light was flashing in the dash and not knowing what it was. Turns out it was 'only' the tire pressure monitor.
ive had mine for a month now and it has 2300 miles
i definately tried to drive everywhere possible for the first two weeks so that i could get it to the 1200, and after that its been really hard to not get in the car and just drive. we have two minis though and our other one has 7000 that we have put on in about 4 months. both of us have a long commute though its about 30 miles one way :(
