Tron Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 My wife has been going on and on for the last 6 months about how she wanted to get a new Mini Cooper…she had one about 10 years ago and wanted it back. So on the sly I was able to figure out what colors she wanted and I factory ordered her a new electric Mini Cooper a few months ago. I just got the update that it’s at the port now. This is gonna be epic when I take her out for lunch one day soon….and wind up at the Mini dealer to collect her new car.

MikeB Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Not to rain on the parade. But Mini Coopers are expensive to work on and very unreliable. Our neighbor had two and returned both under the lemon law. Google Mini reliability. Doesn't rate very well. But they do say any produced from 2019 on are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Hell my minivan will out 60' me A friend has a Tesla (not the X) and we did a drag race. Blew me away off the line, but I reeled him in after the 1/8th mile mark. I'd give the "X" model a good race seeing how my car and the X run the 1/4 in under 10 seconds and 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds. And I have to shift gears !!!! Kevlar clutch baby !!!
