Personally, I truly believe there are no bad cars, bad designers yes, a car is just a car. I know I can force that thing to run, once took a old ford van been sitting for four years. Been in three shops, loads of dough blown on it and it still didn’t run. Sat so long the tire were melted off…I had that van running in four hours after I took possession. One bad wire, that van ran perfectly from that day forward, and drove itself off that lot it was sitting on. The guy gave me 500$ off the van cause of a bet he made with my buddy…left with the van and 5bills. All true!
Update, between all the time and BS related to this Mini Cooper, I am done, am currently trading the whole ball of shit off for a 08Malibu. Thanks for all the input, what was said here weighed alot in my decision to trade. Thanks.
