I'm lucky to own #282 off the production line. Built in May 2001 and used as a demonstrator car for the dealership. For a 19 year old car it's aged very well compared to other cars from this era. Reliability on the other hand is quite something else. In the past 2 years I've had to spend over £4000 on parts such as the gearbox, clutch, a new engine..... but it still puts a massive smile on my face! The Y reg minis will most definitely become a classic sometime in the future hence why I am keeping the car

What was an engine swap like? I’d imagine very expensive, but does it feel the same?

I got my F56 one last year (im 18 too)

I recently bought a 2013 Cooper S (R55) two months ago. So far so good. Extremely maintained by two previous owners, people think its a 2020 model. Only thing I've had to replace were the spark plugs around 56k miles which is around the 60k miles spark plug change quoted in the manual. Always a smile on my face in this car.

I had a 2005 Mini Cooper as a first car, fun little thing to drive. Sad I had it sold because ya know, being a BMW car, it was ridden with problems and leaks, had it sold.

excellent reviewer, and i love the color

An everlasting ICON.

I really want want minicooper there my favourite cars 🥺

I had a Mini Cooper R50, enjoyed every moment with it

DONT DO IT! I had the same urge, so I got a 2nd gen (R56) Cooper S. Worst decision I've ever made, and I've made some bad decisions. The engines in these cars are the most unreliable POS ever, just do a search for the problems these cars have, and you wont want one as badly.

+acousticpsychosis Alas, it's true. I got a 2003 model Mini One 1.6 as my first car last year; it's fantastic in every way to drive, better acceleration than most of my mates cars and can corner faster too. But in that one year I've had to replace the radiator, clutch, wheel bearings, brakes and entire exhaust system. The problems only get worse with the original minis, but at least you can pretty much fix anything on them with a hammer and some scrap metal.

So this is pre Top Gear then.

"the interior is well put together" yeah. sure.

I suppose you could consider it "mini" in America.

This car has aged like Hammond, 😂 I know he uses hair dye and teeth whitener, but still, aged well 😂

Me with my 2003 ford galaxy : dat ting is tiny!!!!

oh my god the camera work is awful I've got a seasick from all those fast cuts and wobbling...

These cars are fun to drive and all, but the reliability is absolutely shit. I hope you like replacing timing chains.

Hmm if only it was a bmw engine, and if only the gearbox wasn't made in the Midlands...

Top Gear used to be much more witty!

+Simone J Stogrin Try fitting the equipment needed to make a modern car design street-legal on the original Mini's dimensions and have enough room left over for a driver and passenger(s).

I like the old Mini much better, because it was actually small and fit the name. The new 'Mini' is big and shit.
