2002 BMW Mini One review from UK and Ireland
"Great little car, shame about the build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear light units kept on fogging up with condensation. Had both replaced, now replacements are fogging up.
Steering clicking and jolting at the 10 to and 10 past positions.
Dash and driver foot-well rattles, along with both doors and seatbelt colunm.
Driver seat squeaks.
Car went in for a 2000 mile oil change, dealer decided to fix a non-existent rattle in the boot. The car came back with a loose boot lock, and had to go back for repair.
Went in for the gear wire retaining clip recall, a month and a half later went in for an oil change and the dealers decided to do it again with no explanation.
General comments?
I love the way the car looks and drives.
I don't think anything else in the class comes close to the kit and look you get in the Mini.
Unfortunately I have had a lot of niggling problems with the car, and spent most of my time going back to the dealers, who aren't the most useful you could come across.
I love the modern styling of the interior, if only the build quality could live up to the looks.
