Carbon Issues

Ive read a lot about the carbon buildup issues on the 07 and newer Cooper S, but does it happen on the regular Coopers from the same era?
Are the regular Coopers less prone to carbon buildup?
Thanks,
Johnny

That is correct Johnny. The Cooper doesn't have the carbon buildup issue. I've actually not heard of the cooper having any carbon build up issues. Maybe some other members have heard or experienced differently.

The MINI Cooper is a great car with plenty of pep. Just gonna have to winding it out.

Just make sure you give MINI owners out on the road the thumbs up or a friendly wave. This gesture seems to be fading... :(
