2004 BMW Mini One Convertible review from UK and Ireland
"Not all that glitters is gold"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Roof failed on several occasions.
Partially resprayed due to manufacturing defect.
Steering problem.
Alarm goes off when left with interior sensor activated.
Interior light has stopped working.
General comments?
After waiting for about six months to take delivery of the car, it was a disappointment to have to roof fail during the handover. A few days later I took delivery of the car having been assured that the problem had been cured, but it kept coming back and eventually the roof was replaced.
The problem with the alarm is still there despite the car having been back to the dealers.
Paintwork was sorted with no hesitation by the dealer.
Car looks great and drives well.
Economy is a surprising bonus with approaching 40mpg average.
