Did you happen to catch our journey through the Bass Coast Shire on Drive TV? The trip included some breathtaking scenery and a fulfilled pit stop, but we're sure you have plenty of questions about the vehicle we piloted. Here is everything you need to know about the Mini Electric.

A couple of people here (a small percentage) have had issues with their SE, but those seem to happen within the first couple of months of ownership. I've now had my SE for almost exactly 2.5 years and have had only one issue even after 52,000 miles. The single problem I had was the paint rubbing issue which my dealer fixed under warranty.I drive about 85 miles per day commuting mostly by freeway, which means I have to do a full charge daily. I'm also in my 3rd winter, and I usually get around 150 miles range in the summer and more like 100-110 miles range in the winter. I drive in mid mode most of the time and use my cruise control as much as possible.This morning's commute was a bit on the cold side, -16 ºF when I started out. In this weather I drive in green mode with heat set to 64 ºF both sides, and driver seat warmer on.Getting 3.31 mi/kWh in -10 ºF temperature is really spectacular in my mind, and even though I'll have to charge today to make it home, I think the SE is a great all-season performer.
