Minis
Our 2012 Mini Cooper has been a great car. Bought from new and 38000 miles in - has had no problems until last month! Coolant leak noticed and required new water pump and belt. A google search found that I was not the only one to experience such a problem at similar mileage. Other than that one problem though it has been a very reliable car.

Nice to hear that they are not too problematic.
This will be my first car in 7 years that is not Audi or Porsche.... they have all been faultless to be honest...
There seems to be a similar amounts of options for the mini as the porsche. And you can easily add £8k in options...

As I did not buy Macan number 3 in March I treated the wife to a new Mini 5 door.

Spent as much time on mini configurator as I did on a Porsche configurator

Very nice Mark. I too have clicked many buttons until my brain feels,like it needs to explode.
I hope we like the test drive on Monday
Sure we will. Are you on run flats? Any thoughts on them welcome as never experienced them before and not convinced the ride is going to be as comfortable as non run flats....

The ride on 16" alloys is excellent but I did not go for the run flat option.

Also I strongly recommend the pano roof as it really lightens up the interior and makes the car feel more special.

Pano roof is one I love in the Macan. Will check it out in the mini too
Already added full led lights to the mini as we are used to bi xenons / led the last 7 years.
Just waiting for the official build dates when they will add CarPlay to the new countryman which I have read it's July. CarPlay is an option on the miniusa website.
Anyone have an idea on delivery timescale of minis?
