Mini to DS3

[Shauna_H]

Hi everyone, newbie from Northern Ireland picked up my DS3 last week and I absolutely love it I originally wanted white but decided to go for something a bit different and when it arrived into the dealers I was more than happy with it. After a troublesome Mini, I'm looking forward to some (hopefully) care free miles! I went for the 90bhp E-HDI DStyle+ and after a 500 mile journey last weekend, I'm definitely not disappointed

Thanks everyone

Minis are absolute buckets! Lol I just don't think it was meant tor me, I had it 2 weeks and my bonnet and front bumper was damaged - massive dent and needed sprayed. 4 weeks later my neighbours son used it as a drawing board and the only part that wasn't painted was the drivers side. Was painted no time and ended up with a huge chip on the bonnet and a chunk out of the front bumper from a rather large stone. My clutch and flywheel went with no indication and then it wouldn't start so it had to be recovered. Clutch fixed and the DPF started to mess around, week later it was back in the garage. I hit a rabbit one night coming home and damaged the front bumper. Everywhere I went I was nearly guaranteed it would throw up another warning light. Told me one day all vehicle electronics had failed. Water pump gave bother. It and the timing belt had to done. Replaced a tensioner and then a new rattle started; the air con unit needed replaced. Gear box seals and oil pump also were on there way out so I just stopped driving it lol.

But apart from that, was it ok?

[lfcrule1972]

Yeah, minor problems surely ?

Seriously I'd have binned any car off with those issues too !
