2004 BMW Mini review from North America
"Wonderful car for the right people"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Unable to open passenger door.
When in driving rain, there's a leak through the sun roof.
General comments?
I love this car. It is unique looking, and as of now, there aren't thousands of them on the road.
She handles incredibly well on all roads, but loves passing and traveling on winding back roads.
The few problems I have had have been repaired for free while under warranty, and once when it was just out of warranty, the repair was free.
Since it is the only car I have, I need to be careful when I shop, and I don't get stuck being the driver too often. She holds two people comfortably, but fits 4 quite well, and as my sons are six feet tall, that is quite amazing.
Occasionally I have thought about updating my vehicle, but as yet cannot bear to part with my "Olga Matilda" Mini Cooper.
