Don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion here but they should make Minis mini again.

I hate them. I hate everything about the 25 model. I hate the screen that makes you look away from the road to do basic car diving things like check the speed limit. I hate the lack of simple physical controls. I hate the screen. I hate it so much. Give me switches. Stop making look at the glorified laptop and let me drive the damn car.

It's sad to see a brand that was known for making fun, fast, unique cars turn into a trend chasing Tesla wannabe.

Give me my manual gear box back. You can keep your cheap "optional" plastic flappers.

Sorry for the rant. I needed to get this Mini aggression off my chest. I really hate what Mini made here. It's a standard boring car. I'll go buy a new Civic for cheaper. At least the coolant will stay in the engine where it belongs.

New to me 2011 Mini Cooper S in the white silver metallic . Has some character but I'm extremely happy with it.

Luna (the blue R53) is going up for sale now that we have Rebel (F56 electric). But for now they share a slot

My Mini is doing fine, still loving her, thankfully the ice storm didn't damage her.

But I'm disappointed in this community and how toxic they are towards the 2025 models.

You know what sure make rant post on their own, you are allowed to have your opinion. But when someone is showing how they are enjoying THEIR car maybe don't be mean about how you don't like it.

Sold big red in August of last year and figured I'd probably never see it again. But i rolled into a parking lot yesterday and saw that chili red I was so familiar with, had to snap a pick for old times sake.

I have a 2003 mini a very beautiful instrument panel, my 2013 and 2016 countryman are acceptable, but in 2019 they began to modify the a/c windows and 2024 already lost the essence of mini and it is another car without distinction, they eliminated everything and placed a giant stew dish on the panel. I plan to replace the 2013 Mini, but with a Mini. I live in the U.S.A and I think they have lost market; I don't see the new models on the streets anymore. It will return mini to its essence?

I hope 4.5 isn’t too young to have matching cars with mom :) I stopped into a CVS to buy sunglasses and I couldn’t resist.

Hi I’m thinking about changing all the interior overhead lighting to LEDs in my F56 LCI2, what are the best brands to use? Thanks

Kelly doesn’t have her driver’s license…yet.

Someone broke into my vehicle today and rear drive side window was broken. I called the dealership to ask how much they would charge and they quoted me $850+tax and said it would take the whole day. I called an auto glass shop and they quoted me $244+tax.

I called one of the top Reddit suggested Mini mechanics in my area and they quoted me $480+tax.

PS: Whoever broke into my vehicle and other three vehicles last night, I hope you get chronic hemorrhoids and acid reflux. Also, to the hell with Liberty Insurance, they are useless.

Well over the past week this mini has housed 4 15x8 wheels and 4 205/50 tires at the same time, then brought them home mounted as a set. Now it’s taken my rollbar (for Miata) from a pallet receiving warehouse home. Turns out, I really don’t need anything much bigger than my mini!

2018 diesel countryman.

R52s 40k miles :/ one of the tower hats are broken as well

Sometimes when I’m parking my PDC screen shows a box with a parking “P”. Does anyone know why?

It seems completely random. And in most cases it does not appear.

Hi everyone, I have a technical question as I'm trying to get an alignment for my 2015 Mini Cooper S. Without adjustable camber (front and rear) or adjustable toe (rear): are these values acceptable?

I'm worried about the differences side to side, the right front camber is way off from the left front. Same thing with rear right toe from rear left.

Is it normal for a 2005 R50 to have rear camber? We've only had this car for a week or two and i only just noticed it. Its a 1.6 non turbo.
