I leased to keep the payment down and I also don't keep cars very long so I thought I would give it a try. I was starting to have transmission problems with the MINI and was almost out of warranty. I didn't want to be stuck with a ridiculous repair bill because they dicked around deciding what the problem was. I've already had dealer/warranty issues because I bought the car used, not from a MINI dealer, they didn't want to deal with it. I'm not into cutting my car apart anymore anyhow. I like it just the way it is.
Oh yeah...I just picked it up tonight, it's great. I'm gonna have to learn how to drive all over again, the transmission and engine are different from what I am used to with the MINI. Not sure when to shift, the engine to me always sounds like I need to shift up a gear. I guess something I just need to adjust too.
