Thought I had better beat it over here with just 8K left on my extended warranty. I have an 03 Cooper, gold with a lot of options (GPS, two-tone leather, heated seats, power everything). I like the handling and the gas mileage. The down side is that the car is a slug even with a five-speed, especially with AC on (which is most of the time in the desert southwest). I also hate the third-degree burns I get from touching all the chrome (window and lock switches, interior door handle, shifter cap) when it's 115 outside.
