2002 BMW Mini Cooper Chilli review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic handling car, but lacks true power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong. There were a few minor niggles.
Windscreen cracked for no apparent reason at 2000 miles.
Dash board rattles started about 4000 miles and continue.
When you put down the windows, they get dirty on the inside.
If wet, the water runs down of the inside of the window when you open the door.
General comments?
Car has fantastic handling, but lacks the overall power to make it a truely great all round car.
I opted for the sports suspension plus with the 16" Wheels, the best combination.
Interior looks good, and is fully functional and comfortable.
