i hate this car with a passion. My mom has a 2005 mini cooper coupe...with the absolutely terrible piece of crap automatic CVT. there is NOTHING on this car i like. the transmission is meant to simulate a standard transmission. why on earth would you want that. if you have an automatic its because you want an automatic feel. you try to do a smooth start it jolts forward. The tiptronic has a terrible delay and the padle shifters dont work properly. very uncomfortable. extremely bouncy. terrible
@MTLbigJ also...this stupid thing "learns the driver" so if i use the car the car acts all retarded because it thinks my mom is driving. so the rpms are rediculously high when im driving at highway speeds 5000rpms. therefore, it combines my driving and my moms driving into one stupid profile. (i dont drive like an idiot). so constantly needs "transmission readaptation" at BMW mini. costs 250 bucks each time. the steering is way too hard. the car has some really annoying features. btw. i am 20
@MTLbigJ last comment lol. I wont lie. I admit if this car was a standard (a proper standard) i would probly really enjoy this car. But avoid the CVT AT ALL COSTS
