Thinking of importing a MINI Cooper.

Thinking of importing a MINI Cooper from the UK. What are the main things to look out for, known MINI problems etc? The car will be in the region of 2005 to 2008 in age. Will there be much difference in the spec of an English car compaired to the Irish car?

Thanking you

I'm looking for a high-up diesel auto...

Currently driving a Peugeot 2008 diesel automatic. Love it, but need a slightly higher car again - still diesel automatic. My passenger has a disability and needs easier access. Don't need larger car just higher car. I like the Ford EcoSport, but the diesel version is not automatic. It appears slightly higher than the 2008. Something along that line and price bracket would suit me if it were available. Otherwise I will have to return to a Peugeot 3008 diesel automatic, which I had some years ago, but felt it was too large. Did not have to take disabled passenger at that stage.
