MINI Hatchback (2006 - 2013) 1.6 Cooper 3d (Chili Pack) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Yes it handled like a go cart and people still had positive things to say about its cuteness. But the fuel economy wasn’t as I was expecting, nor did it feel particularly quick when you did want to make it move, positively slothful sometimes. Overall build quality was excellent but the mechanical problems and excessive oil consumption were marks against it.
How reliable do you find the car?
Good job it had a years warranty, it needed new air conditioning compressor, air conditioning condenser, VANOS solenoid, brake calipers and had oil leaks, all in thay first year of owning it. Constantly used oil but was told it was within expectations. The second year it needed a new pre cat oxygen sensorDoes the car do everything you expected it to do?
Not as economical as It was claimed to be never did any better than 40 mpg even on a run. I wouldn’t have expected the problems i had with it. The oil consumption was truly shocking for an engine that was operating normally.About their car
