2000 Rover - Austin Mini S-Works LE review from UK and Ireland
"The only mini to rip along the M25 keeping up with the rest!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Temperature sensor causing the fan to run constantly.
Steering geometry losing the plot after hitting pot holes, etc. Rack is not located so slops around.
Managed to get stuck in 4th gear whopping it round the M25, after about 1,500 miles.
General comments?
What a car!
It is complemented well by a brilliant S-Works conversion, which increased the power by 30% to 90bhp.
It handles like no other Mini I have driven before, sticks like glue, as I can't even get sideways around roundabouts, what fun!!
The interior trimmings are superb, and complemented well with cream dials all round, with a nice helping of full leather upholstery and an aluminum dash.
This car is the nuts!!!
