Good morning, I am currently looking for a nice convertible. I have fallen in love with the design of the new Mini Cooper Roadster JCW. Now I am facing a difficult decision for me. To choose a Mini Cooper Roadster S for 31400€ (8,47%) discount. and a VW Golf 6 TSI 1.4 160 hp here is the final price at 28100 (13% discount). Reason clearly says that the VW is the better car because it offers significantly more comfort and above all “more car” for the money b ekomm. I find it very stylish from the design. The other side clearly says Mini because it is simply a fun car and unique from the design, because I really like the “retro look”. The price difference here is quite large compared to the comfort car to the fun car How would you decide? Unfortunately the JCW Cooper Roadster is very expensive otherwise this would be my absolute favorite because everything fits here in my opinion. What about discounts at the dealers? Mini dealers I have only got 5% discount and there is only one financing with 4.9 at VW currently 3.9%. My current driving behaviour: about 15000km annually with 50% city, 50%. On excursions on weekends it looks of course different. Have currently always been able to use the following vehicles: Porsche Boxter S, Golf 6 R. At the moment I have unfortunately no own vehicle, that should change however soon I thank you for your help and hope that the decision will soon be easier for me. .

Hello, I’m thinking of buying a mini as a replacement for my A3 Convertible 2.0 TDI S-Tronic. I drive 32,000 km a year, of which 50% motorway, of which long distance: 6-12 times 700 km, approx. 2 times 2,000 km (e.g. Sicily). Transports are usually 2 people (190 cm and 160 cm). Rarely also times 3 or 4. To the 2 people often skis or golf bags. From the place for the luggage even the Mini Cabrio is enough, the skis are then on the middle armrest, then you can surely only use Automa The only thing that keeps the shift lever free is the Clubman, so that the hand shift is also possible here. So far all this works very well with my A3 Cabrio 2.0 TDI S-Tronic with 17 inches without sports suspension. From these experiences I would choose a Clubman Cooper SD Automatic. I had this yesterday for the test drive, but with sports suspension, however, the friendly one admitted only 250 km, then I drove 150 km. After that I had another Hatch Cooper S hand switch without a sports suspension more than 100 km, because I wanted to know if I was enthusiastic about the engine against all reason (32Tkm). My impressions: – Clubman with a sports suspension for the long distance too nervous – Hatch with a series suspension better than Club / Sport – Cooper S Motor is too loud for me in the long run and at high speed – both like to drive grooves to – Clubman slightly more susceptible to side wind – automatic drives more relaxed (you can taste the m-drive and eat/drink) But it’s different than the S-Tronic performance. Despite the test drive I’m still unsure, it was too short, Clubman without a sports suspension was not available, automatic yes or no and at all. Does my project make sense, since some do not recommend the Mini for the long distance? How are your personal experiences? Can you recommend the Mini for the long distance? Which model and which drive can you recommend?

Hi, does someone have an explanation for the rule? We were in the resin and showed the car the first time the snow. That was also all great on the road, until… Until then, full of exuberance, we drove on a non-roamed parking place. The snow was so about 20cm high, that went just that way in the beginning, but where does this rappeln come from? here a youtube video link (please include sound) 3L

Yesterday, my Mini Cooper D (with chili pack included spoilers approved as standard only end of May 2009) was for the second time in the wash road – suddenly the rear spoiler crashed down to the metal floor. All brackets broken. Washer staff very sympathetic (knows me), recommended visits at BMW. To BMW later, they took no responsibility guaranteed. The washing system insurance will most likely pay (about EUR 370). e: From now on it always says wash by hand. This is no joke in the middle of the city! Someone also hit my beautiful rear bumper (white). I am sad….

Hello dear mini-drivers, I’ve been a countryman S for about 6 weeks and I’m quite annoyed due to many little things: 1. Meal/painting noises from the speedometer are just in front of the traffic lights. 2. Grinding noises when braking downhill e.g. into the underground garage. 3. Howling noise from the engine compartment from about 60 km/h, similar to when driving behind a truck, is not loud, but since it is so high frequency, is annoying. And what the BMW/Mini workshop: 1. Is probably b a my tacho “mini boost…” and with Tacho with Navi conceptually normal, so no exchange. To 2. grinding noise is normal with Mini. To 3. if he cannot explain himself, wants to check my mini again and lend me another comparable countryman, so that I can see if that does not occur with that. Since this back and forth since the purchase pulls and nothing really happens, I will hand the whole matter over to a suitable specialist lawyer Does any of you have anything like that to report?
