A Mini brand car has a pretty good resale value, assuming the car is in great shape and has no problems with it. We were so scared to drive too far from our home because we didn't know if we make it back home that night. Some other things just seem to last.
The flatbed service they offer to pickup your Mini is only for a limited area, and even getting a rental while your car is being repaired can be limited in how far you can drive it. Cargo space is tight with the rear seatback up. I bought this car for my daughter two years ago. This car has been so reliable and is so easy on gas and economical that I will keep it till it dies, and I have already put over 12k miles on it for a grand total of 164k! This time it was the vacuum pump. The last two years of the R53 are the most desirable.

Original review: March 4, 2019 I had my 2012 4 door Mini Cooper piece of junk for 2 years and needed to return to the dealer at least 12 times for various repairs. Later versions saw increases to 210hp and eventually 215hp. We moved to another state. So yeah the dealership isn't a good place, but nor is any other dealership. I live in Wisconsin; the mini powered through the first winter storm of the year and I am confident about that.
The timing chain failed while the vehicle was in motion on the highway, causing the vehicle to lose power. This model was discontinued alongside the Coupe.

I've had trouble with spending a lot of money on repairs in the past and don't wanna deal with the stress anymore. I love mine a lot even through the anger and frustration.

I have a customer that had 5 of them replaced within 70,000 miles before his vehicle went out of warranty. There is no way to fit my travel mug or my Venti cold cup.
