Hi everyone. Yup - Minis suck! ...well at least Minis with CVT automatic transmissions.... I'm a HUGE BMW fan but this car is an absolute nightmare and I feel like I've been straight up robbed.

My wife and I bought a used 2002 Mini just a few months ago and come to find that the transmission is shot. It shifts weird in the lower gears and drives strange in parking lots and such. We paid $6,500 and now are being told that to fix the tranny it will cost about $6,000. Really!?

At this point we are forced to junk the car. What a total rip-off. I've just lost a ton of respect for BMW overall. Just terrible.

Go eff yourselves BMW!!!! So angry right now.

Okay - had to vent here...

Rant off.
