1992 Rover - Austin Mini Reviews

It did have a fuel leak from one of the pipes or something else. Maybe the fuel tank.

Anyway, I took it to the garage so they could fix it. They said it was OK to drive again, and when I drove it back from my local garage, my second tank leaked once again, and I was very disappointed when it leaked again as I drove it back home, and after that I took it back a week later to get the 2nd fuel tank replaced; it was very disappointing.

What I like about the Mini is the way it handles like a dream. It starts OK, but it needs the choke on a little bit to keep it running, and once it's running OK, it's very nippy and a huge laugh to drive.

Everybody likes them because they are classics now, and they are very classless. I would recommend it to an enthusiast or a young collector.

Not much really, just service items; drive shaft gaiter and new leads, dizzy cap etc.

Totally fantastic little car that makes me smile every time I drive it. It's a summer use car only, and doesn't come out in the rain, just fine weather, and it's great with the roof open and half leather trim.

My car is totally standard and has led a very sheltered life, hence the low mileage.

I have added a set of front stainless nudge bars, it is in excellent condition inside, but there are some small rusty patches on the body, but Minis always rust, so I will have those panels replaced next year, then it will be perfect.

I have two Minis, but I have to say this one is really my favourite as the other one is one of the last Rover Minis made, and the seats in it are really too big for the car.

Brake cylinder seal started to leak at 51000 miles.

The mini is a very cheap small car that is easy on your wallet.

Performance is OK from the 1.0l A-series engine and will be satisfactory for most forms of driving, but a larger engine would be needed for regular motorway users.

Interior is a bit bland from standard, but many accesories are available to add some personal touches if required.

The level of comfort is what you would expect from a car with a very low center of gravity.

Front exhaust pipe snapped.

Paint chipped off alloys rims is causing the tires to go flat.

Full length electric sunroof leaks in heavy rain.

I LOVE THIS CAR! Even with the above, this is the best car I have ever had. It has half cream leather interior (standard), 1.3 Cooper spec engine (standard), and is a real head turner. The reg plate on mine is K1 0PEN - I always get asked about it. This model comes highly recommended as it is of much better quality inside than previous models (and you get a cooper engine!).
