How do you get your Mini serviced if the dealer is 2 hours away? I'm just wondering because it seems like it might be a good second car for us but the dealer is very far and that would mean maintainance is also far away yes? Also does the Cooper S have a place for a spare tire if I decide to use GFT tires? I don't mean does it come with it, but is their a place to put one like in the base cooper. I can't just run down to the dealer until I get back to the US in a few months. Also how bad is the rear seat to sit in, very bad, tolerable or torture for a small sized adult? Thanks

Replying to: stevecebu (Jul 29, 2007 12:13 pm) The back seat would be just fine for 2 hour trips and I'm 6'2" 225lbs. (if there is a smaller person sitting in front of me. This is key) For a small adult I think it wouldn't be an issue but naturally don't take my word on it go and test drive. The only trouble you would run into is if you had 2 large adults in the front seat. Then the back seat would be a tight cramped space almost unable to accomodate anyone but a child. I recall during my test drive that once I had adjusted the drivers seat to my comfort there was only some 4-5" space between the back of the drivers seat and the rear seat. Not much room for adult legs. It's a small car. -groove

Replying to: gretsch6120 (Jul 29, 2007 12:39 pm) Thanks, I'm a fair bit shorter than you are and my wife is only 4'11" tall and I think it would be ok but we would have to test one first. The only thing is the 2 hour ride to the dealership for service and if they had to keep it overnight that would mean renting a car since I doubt they'd provide a rental. So I'm still wondering what people do who live far from the dealership?  Thanks |
