New - from Cheshire
Anchorman, by far the quickest 'mud-magnet' we've ever owned was my wife's Mini Cooper S (from new in 2003). Had a supercharged 1.6L (before Mini retrogressively changed future units to turbos). Could never see a thing out of the rear window after a couple of miles on wet country roads. Blistering acceleration. Rubbish build quality.
CX-3 Sport Nav 2.0L Petrol. Manual. Soul Red & Half Stone interior. From new Sept 2015. South Lincolnshire UK.
I'm not friends with BMW Minis. The only ones I have worked on have been proper cows. They are nothing but trouble.GeeJam wrote:Anchorman, by far the quickest 'mud-magnet' we've ever owned was my wife's Mini Cooper S (from new in 2003).

Rear tailgate rust, water ingress to battery housing, unreliable electrics, dash board falling to bits, chassis metal fatigue, main component brackets shearing, air con vents disintegrating, dodgy wheel bearings and rubbish gearbox linkage, to list just a few. And, even though BMW insist they've rectified their early Mini's faults, they no longer make a Mini in the guise of a true retro tribute to the original Issigonis design. Their current 'Mini' range are ugly, over-bloated and unrecognisable.
The CX-3, in contrast, is simply brilliant.

Although there is an interior switch to pop the Electric mirrors in manually ,I've just had the part fitted so they are walk away folding mirrors.
This doesn't change anything to the manual operation of the electric mirrors .
Only cost about £100 at main dealers fitted !
Also bought the boot liner which was cheaper than eBay . £136 for both items !
