"Overpriced and unrefined"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The brake pads and rotors replaced at 41000.

The convertible top stopped working the next month.

This car made me nervous; it always felt as if something was on the verge of breaking.

No one will repair this car or even change the oil, and the dealer's prices are gold plated.

General comments?

A nice looking car, but my car had that horrible CVT transmission. Absolutely no acceleration from a stop. Jerky and unrefined. 115 hp and CVT just don't mix well. A car today does not have to ride so poorly to handle well.

I so wanted to like this car as I have an original Mini Cooper, but all they have in common is the name.

This car was nothing but a disappointment to me.

2005 convertible top won't open. Dealer wants 3k to rip and replace front mechanism. Just outside of warranty.
