I guess I'm doing this right. I've been a Mini owner since back in 2003. Had a yellow Cooper hard top, with a black roof, premium package and with a manual transmission. This is when I fell in love with the new love of my life. My MINI! Wow I really loved that car. Had to let it go due to our first addition to the family if you get the picture. Then in 2010 got my second Mini. Mini Cooper Clubman, blue with a silver roof, premium package and CVT Transmission. I would have to say I was ecstatic about that car as well, and the automatic trans wasn't to bad. Both of my kids middle names are from the Mini Cooper. Now I just got into a 2014 Mini Cooper Clubman, white silver with a black roof, CVT transmission and with Mini Connected. Still breaking it in, has only about 250 miles as I write this, but I can actually say this is the first time that I'm not feeling all that ecstatic a out how it runs. I'm hoping that it's due to breaking it in but I really hope to have a change of heart. If not this is the first time I can say that I would be unhappy with my Mini.

 

Hmm, that was a lot of words and not sure if there is a question in there... but I'm sorry you are not happy with your new Clubman. I don't know much about CVTs.

Hope you get your issues resolved and get to just driving.

Happy Motoring.

 

FYI - I don't think Gen 2 cars don't have CVT transaxles.

 

Lol, well thanks for the replies. I'm still trying to get comfortable with this whole back and forth messaging. Anyway I thought all auto trans in the Mini's were CVT's, sorry. I've always said that the non S models have always been enough for me, but this new 2014 model feels sluggish.
