Probably the same as any car you buy. They all have there own common faults.
O wasn't doubting your information. I just meant that any car could have common faults.
What we talking, R53, R57 etc?
Yeah but not all cars have a long array of very expensive repairs in relation to the cost of the vehicle. The cooper s engine is basically a sieve they’re really that bad for oil leaks. The R57 psa engine is renowned for its costly problems. Some cars have much bigger issues than others. Such as ford’s ecoboost 1.0 and 2.3 blowing head gaskets.
Eyelashes states the reason for getting rid of the s3 as the long list of things that need doing. I just want to make him/her aware that a mini isn’t a safe bet for a cheap alternative if you go for a cooper s.
The cooper S are fun cars, very go kart like, especially the R53. As long as you’re aware they can become money pits then go for it. The R57 is obviously more modern inside and out, the engine is more economical. The R53 is more raw feeling, the supercharger sounds ace especially with a smaller pulley put on. My friend is a car dealer and has a black R57 cooper s for sale at the moment with the optional JCW bodykit. I’ll send you a link if you’re interested, located in Derby.
