Cooper S

I have had a new problem every week with this car. I took it to the car wash just to find out that the convertible top leaks on both sides, at the 1st bend. The water was dripping at a fast pace. I had the top checked out for any problems prior to purchasing at which I was told nothing appeared to be needed. The weather stripping and top had no cracks are sign of wear. Just another headache within a month of purchase.

Cooper S 4-cyl

  • 76,500 miles
Traveling at approximately 40mph. Finger was cut 2mm deep by defective peeling/flaking chrome accent on manual transmission shift knob. As a result, finger was bleeding and experienced a shock from the affected nerve throughout the body while vehicle was in motion. Attention to the road was lost for a moment causing me to nearly get into an accident.
