2010 Mini Cooper Start and Rev to Redline

I love the way this car sounds and feels. This is the base model with the 1.6L 120hp motor, which felt surprisingly torquey and sprightly. The engine note is very energetic. My main gripe during the drive is something relatively minor but very annoying: the new BMW style "soft-touch" turn signals. I don't understand why something that was never a problem in the first place has to be engineered as such. If you haven't tried them, the stalk doesn't stay in place after you hit them. To cancel, you have to either push very lightly in the direction that you hit them or the opposite direction. If you choose to push in the opposite direction, you could easily engage the other side's signals. Just an annoyance that I thought took away from the driving experience.

Does the base version feel underpowered??

@lbryan250

It's not particularly fast, but it always feels quick. I always think that I'm going faster than I am in a Mini.

@ftpaddict no, falls under "actuator". motors are electric or pneumatic (which also falls under actuator)

[ftpaddict]

@AngryBF2Nerd The Internal combustion engine falls under the category of motors. Look it up.

[AngryBF2Nerd]

I would love to buy one of these but i'm concerned with all the issues with clutch problems, fuel injectors, steering locks, transmission failures that lots of people report. Have you had issues with yours?
