I’ve just purchased one and I’m loving it already ❤️🤫🤷‍♂️

[@andayibrewmbirika2441]

My 07 has constant daisy chain ignition coil probs causing random stalling at red lights sometimes stalling going dead on me 3-4 times in the space of two blocks!! Random warning lights for servicing and oil change keep blinking and faulty engine warning/brake pads keeps lighting up yet nothing wrong with brakepads🤔🤔🤔handbreak light wont turn off either… my 07 was 10 yrs old when i bought it used but turning into a money pit and now its 17 yrs old but i only had it for 7,,, oh also drivers side floor get soaked easily with water so no idea where water leaking from,,,, despite it all i enjoyed the car but moving onto mazda 2 but mini one was an excellent starter car i got attached to but it keeps needing a mechanic😩😩

Got a 2009 First 1.4,..internet said the engine would blow up around 30,000 miles due to its unreliable nature...just stuck it's first timing chain on it at 145,000 miles... stick chugging along :)

[@Kimbururu]

What are you even saying mate? I fail to understand the entire post

[@dunnockdan]

@@Kimbururu was just saying this MINI I had, hadn't had a timing chain since 145k miles. When they are a known weakness on this engine, where some go very early.

My one is is called Skirt after Mini skirt.

[@kendelion]

[@eathealthystudent4668]

Like it, mines the red rocket 🚀

[@Katie-kp6cf]

Mine's Minnie the moocher 😆

[@missbecky4]

is it a good car for new driver?

[@hivaladeen4892]

missbecky4 yessss

[@SLR-722]

I love my 2010 mini ONE (98).

[@xXGreyWolf]

Does anybody buying a mini actually give a shit about road noise or the size of the boot?

[@hivaladeen4892]

xXGreyWolf in my opinion the car engine is ALOT quieter than some cars such as a polo as the engine is alot more powerful so you don't hear the biting point and revs as much on low gears

[@davideslava3526]

it's the best!

[@watkinscopicat]

great car when it works, but sadly unreliable. after 4 yrs/39000 miles, our engine cooked itself due to a failed coolant system with no warning. very crappy design flaw, mini/bmw dealer wanted 8k to fit new engine, we told them to fuck off, luckily we had a friend fit a new engine for a LOT less, mini are thieving a-holes and enjoy ripping people off. their customer service is appalling. they don't care. keep a close eye on your cooling system! a water temp gauge is a good idea for this car.

[@tatendanyoni9998]

It was your duty to make sure your car has enough coolant.If you look after any a car it will also look after you !

[@kimzafra]

What year model was it?

[@oddities-whatnot]

Im tempted with a new mini, 66 plate, but ive read a lot of stuff about reliability issues which concerns me. Ive had a couple of abarth 500s, and I know where I am with them, no problems. Just thought id get something a bit different, but dont think ill risk it.

[@hivaladeen4892]

Simon George if an Abarth will do you fine then I'm sure your good to go lol, mini is a combination of British and German engineering as it is owned by BMW group, it definitely shouldn't let you down. Most cars that are made now a days are very reliable due to better technology and production process. the whole "it's unreliable" gimmick is more of a myth and a 2005 thing to day

[@richmpiblue5220]

My daily is a 2009 R56 MIni One. Had an engine rebuild aswell....

[@wellwh0]

Those Prince engines are terrible. Had timing chain replaced and many other bits engine wise, electrics aren't great too. Drinks 1 liter of oil on 2000km, at BMW they say it is normal. Really don't know how that engine back in days was approved for production.

[@davideslava3526]

Mine is called Nigel after my idol, Nigel Powers.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

It's a BMW that thinks it has the right to wear a Union Jack.

[@MillieonaVespa]

Mine is called Alice......after Alice cooper !
