Lets say maintenance has been kept up to date, how long are these engines known to last for in miles or km?

I have a 2005 987 Boxster S and bought it pre-owned in ‘07. To this day, it thrills me to just sit in it, let alone drive it. The mid-engine just makes the feel and performance like no other. Undoubtedly the best car I’ve ever owned.

As an ex owner of a 4C and current quad owner, his comment about the 4C not driving well, is well, ridiculous. The one thing it does is drive incredibly well, particularly with the right tires (some people also use spacers). The opinios generated from hear say other inexperienced people is well funny.

These are all full-time 4wd (H) with a planetary center differential in the transfer case. HL is 4wd with the center differential in the transfer case locked. LL is 4wd low range also with the center diff locked. The Diff Lock turn button is then for the rear differential lock.

Bought a 2002 3L D4D in 2009 for £10,000. Drove 100,000 miles with £9,000 maintenance. Had to sell it due to the corrosion and the costs of repairs was getting too high. Now with a 2014 icon with less corrosion, that that also will be a problem going forwards.

There are a couple engines where I prefer the non-M sounds. M54vsS54 is a good example. Sound wise, I think it sounds better. Could just be the lower redline 🤷🏻♂️. In terms of S62, I don’t think it sounds bad but stock (or especially with x-pipe) it has significant raspiness.

young driver here who's not too long got myself an 07 cooper s. guess i've not had the maintenance costs get to my head yet. but as someone who's only driven super slow cars due to insurance. man this cars fucking awesome. screw the comfort issues, screw the fact it's a little janky on dodgy roads, and screw the fact its totally impractical and the back seats are useless. its all part of the fun for me personally as a young single guy, i absolutely love it. if you're willing to put up with proper maintenance, these things are a BLAST and low on insurance for what you experience too. Great video mate

@jcooper_ 3 ай бұрын
Good candid review from a fellow Cooper S R56 owner. This isn't a retaliation by any means, but my two cents: Point 1 - fully agree on the unsexy engine. The valve clatter is insane, and even when revving out it only sounds OK. Exhaust is fairly fruity for a standard setup though. I would slightly disagree re. pulling power low down -- I find mine to be suprisingly linear and responsive for a turbo unit from 1700rpm onwards. Point 2 - yep, nothing more needs to be said! My chain went very suddenly at low-ish miles. Chews through oil, but I find the dipstick OK (and only OK) if you read it when the engine hasn't been turned over and the oil has fully settled. Point 3 - I get basically the exact same MPG figures, but imo I don't think that's too bad for the performance on offer. High 30s MPG is entirely respectable for a daily, but each to their own. Point 4 - agreed, on a rough road it feels like the suspension and alloys are about to rip themselves apart. Car skips badly when hitting a bump whilst loaded, too. But as you say, when it works well it's sublime. Point 5 - I guess they're not hardcore, but on the flipside it does make them easy to live with (if you don't mind the hard ride). Great to see another perspective :)
