The way how when you park up you think you've loads of fuel.....then the next day you get in and end up playing chicken with the fuel gauge.

Everyone I've ever driven does it! And I've driven a few

The need to have to drive it when time is against you and the Mini Countryman is more practical for the occasion

Oh and my drivers seat accossionally has a slight clunk on severe corners

Are you sure that's not your wallet falling out of your pocket

I have a couple

a) The demist coming on at less than 10deg C as others have said

b) The windscreen wipers stepping down when I come to a halt. What the &*$! is that all about? I have the things on normal speed and come to a halt and the damn things revert to intermittent which if I have on a "long" setting means I have no wipers for a good few seconds - NOT a sensible thing at a junction in the rain?

This has got to be the STUPIDEST thing I have ever come across on a car!

I really must get round to having the 160 remap by Phil T4 who told me ages ago this can be programmed out.

c) The badly sited (too low) - and small buttoned Climate Control / Demist buttons. I find myself having to take my eyes off the road to simply de-mist the windscreen. Maybe it is just me - but how much better my old Disco was where it was all rotary dials and you could change settings by feel and not take eyes off the road.

I have seriously considered looking at fitting the lower spec dial system. Tho I doubt I will bother as I now leave the thing on permanent windscreen and Feet.
