Badly burnt. Worst automotive experience in my life.
These vehicles Mini markets as being premium are anything but. I have had the following issues within 2.5 year ownership period. 1. Faulty clutch from day one of ownership, requires replacement every 40,000kms. A known manufacturing defect recognised internationally, but not offered warranty or recall by BMW Australia. 2. Three severe breakdowns where car has suddenly decelerated while highway driving at 110km/h. All occasions requiring a tow. 3. Full car floor flooding. Airconditioner condensation drainage flowed straight into the cabin. Was f...Read more
looded for six months while BMW Sydney stuffed around and not correctly diagnosing. Required whole car strip to metal shell and refit of all carpets. 4. Countless electrical faults. Auto lights and wipers simply not working. Electric window regulators all individually failed and required replacement. Update: Have now traded the car before expiry of warranty. A nightmare not helped by money hungry mongrels at BMW Sydney servicing the car and BMW Australia offering next to no warranty support throughout ownership. Having bought the car new, I really expected a lot better. Worst car ownership experience in my life and I have owned most marques. You have been warned and I suggest you read all international blogs before buying any MINI as very few are sold in Australia. 1. Clutch An internationally recognised problem where the clutch has poor engagement and take off in the 2011/2012 Cooper S ALL4 models. BMW Australia have been no help whatsoever. Have denied the problem and offered no compensation for the $5k clutch and flywheel replacement. Clutch felt heavily worn after only 40,000 highway kms. When clutch was removed, was only 50% worn, but still BMW Australia denied a manufacturing problem. Update: If you have had the same issue after a short km distance, please get in contact. Several others have done so already. It needs to be dealt with in a group manner as BMW Australia treat individuals as if they have never heard of their problem before and offer no support or compensation for when they know they are liable. Their corporate behaviour is nothing short of disgusting. 2. BreakdownsSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

2014 Mini Countryman owner.....
My first ever car as an 18 year old was a mini.....many years later (incl wife + 2 kids) i never thought i'd be driving another mini due to family and a regular 2-door mini was not practical.....but I just took delivery of a new 2014 MINI Countryman and loving it! I'd been shopping around for over 12 months to replace my VW Jetta and test drove a few cars including the Audi Q3 and Volvo Crosscountry but neither got me excited at all. The Audi shape looks like 90% of SUV's on the road and the Volvo only comes in auto (boring!). I test drove the ...Read more
6-speed manual Countryman sports and fell in love with it! For performance, fun to drive and unique styling when you start comparing to other premium vehicles in a similar $ range it stacks up very well. Plus the CM been voted as the car with the highest value retention level its class on the German car market....another plus. great performance, fun to drive and unique mini styling but the added practicality of 4 doors nothing yet.....i'm loving it!
