2003 BMW Mini Cooper review from UK and Ireland
"Good, but not perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Misting rear light clusters.
General comments?
After reading all the favourable car magazine reviews I had to try the Mini Cooper.
Its good, but not as great as the reviews would have you believe.
It creaks & rattles from the dashboard & the seat belt mechanisms. (never a problem in my previous Honda).
The handling is good & winding country roads are a blast.
Also, it has good levels of equipment & the brakes are great.
