My clutch blew at 26000 miles.
After looking online, I can see that I am not alone with problems with a clutch in the mini. I will never buy another one, and it breaks my heart.
I drive this car with such care. It's my first real car after living in NYC and not needing a car for 20 years. I've driven manual all my life, and no one can tell me that my driving should cause a clutch to blow...
How do you reconcile the fact that you have lived in NYC for the past 20 years without needing a car, yet you have driven manual your entire life? I guess it should read you've driven manual your life (minus the past twenty years).
