Does anyone have any information as to MINI's production-line fix of the infamous throttle stutter in First Gear? Are cars still being shipped with this design flaw? Is the Cooper S (which I'm waiting to order) any less vulnerable to it?
Some owners report this annoying problem, some owners have never experienced it, and still other owners are patiently waiting for "software upgrades" via warranty. Your comments will be welcome, and integral to the placement of my BRG/White order.
Also, I've been unable to discover the cost of the Sirius satellite radio option. Any figures? And has MINI done anything about the rattling interiors that have generated so many complaints? My sales rep at Baron BMW asks my indulgence because "it's not exactly a 7-Series BMW." Well, it's not exactly a Yugo either, so I'm exercising my patience and optimism to thwart my lustful craving for a car that must at least be in developmental puberty to become my partner
