   For Mini, it's not a quality problem, it's a quirk - Yahoo! Finance
   
   Interesting... although I personally don't trust JD Power's ratings all that much, here's the outcome:
   2009 Initial Quality Study (IQS) | J.D. Power and Associates
   
   Initial "quality" doesn't have much (or any) direct correlation to long term reliability. Even their "long term" vehicle dependability study is too short term. It only covers 3 year old cars. Also, when people report "wind noise", is it a defect, by design, more than what they expected or something else?

   Mini's generally get rated average or bad in most of quality reports .
   And if you go to their forums, you will see how many people complain about many, many things.
