2012 Mini Cooper S that I bought after selling the Challenger. Fun car to drive when something isn't broken. Good to actually have a zippy manual to thrash around town. Very responsive and fun to take turns hard. Unfortunately, something always seems to be broken. Replaced hatch handle mechanism, thermostat housing, radiator hose, tie rods, faschia trim, windshield, ignition coils, fuel injector, shifter assembly, tires, and brake pads. Got in February of 2019 and finally can't afford to keep dumping money into. Trading in for a new EV July 2020. Gonna let warranty do the heavy lifting for a little while.

Tragically problem ridden. You wouldn't believe the amount of repairs I've needed done on this. Coolant leak from the radiator hose and thermostat housing, shifter assembly replacement, faulty fuel injectors, cracked windshield, tie rod replacement(tire replacement due to uneven wear from the tie rods), and the rear liftgate handle broke. Now there's something in the suspension making noise. I can't even work up the energy to care about it right now.

Hows it been? Loved driving these as a valet.
