I purchased a 2007 MINICooper S and at 10K miles (1 year old) the clutch needed to be replaced. I don't understand how a new car with 10K miles needs a new clutch. The dealership and the manufacturer both said it was my fault and there was nothing wrong with the car. They quoted me over $3K to repair. I have been driving manual cars for 15 years and have never had a problem with a clutch.
