All Fives

I received my first ever MINI service survey today – presumably related to the visit after I picked up GBMINI#3, to have the “check engine” fault resolved.
MINI USA would like to thank you for your choosing to have your MINI COOPER S serviced at MINI Of Peabody on 03/31/2005. We value your opinion and strive to deliver superior service to you every time.
We hope this experience at MINI Of Peabody was a great one and would
love to hear about it from you

As ever MINI Peabody were outstanding, thoroughly checking for fault causes – I have no hesitation in awarding “all 5s” for the survey:

Also recently I had a phone survey from MINI USA, “welcoming me to the MINI community” and asking me about my purchase/pickup experiences (I tried to explain that GBMINI#3 was my third MINI but it made no difference to their pre-written speeches).

Of course again there was nothing but “all 5s” for MINI Peabody and my MA Joel Mesiti – I actually tried to award some 10s but the woman very un-humourously told me there were no numbers that high, and insisted that I say the number “5”.
I think some of MINI USA phone survey people should be given MINIs to drive for a while – it might cheer them up 🙂

Best ever MINI sales in USA!

From MINI USA PR:
MINI Brand Up 23 Percent Year-To-Date, Propelled by Best Retail Month
Demand for MINI brand automobiles was exceptionally strong as the division celebrated its third anniversary in the U.S. on March 22nd. March sales were the best ever recorded, for 4,127 cars versus 2,857 in March 2004, an increase of 44 percent. First quarter sales of MINI automobiles increased 23 percent with sales of 10,184 over the 8,271 sold in the first quarter of 2004.

As always, my complete list of MINI sales in USA has been updated.

In that data you can see that monthly MINI sales broke 4,000 only once before, achieving 4,005 sales in December 2003.
