Why would i want a ugly unreliable car? If I want a little car to zip around town I would rather look at a used Toyota MR2. Besides I'm 6' 2", 195, my head would stick out and look like Yogi bear driving his ride.
Youd fit better in a Mini. But I agree, a turbo MR2 is much cooler. Heck, Id even take a MR-S over a Mini, but Id have to stuff the GT-S motor in it first.
I asked if he had owned one since he said they were "unreliable". Well he hasn't so how would he know? We've had our mini for over 2 years and no problems. I even think it's more comfortable than the SUV we had.
did you read any of the comments regarding the rankings? when people who are actually DRIVING the cars dont see any correlation - you have to wonder at the validity of the rankings.
A "few weeks" worth of stuff in a Mini? I have a hard time fitting a few weeks worth of stuff in a Sonata.
Yeah! A tent, sleeping bag and clothes and I'm good to go for awhile. With the seats folded down I can fit quite a bit of stuff in there. I've done 2 extended trips out west and numerous shorter getaways. I was always the person who insisted on flying everywhere until I bought the MINI (almost 60,000 miles in 3 years - yeah, I like to drive it!)...now I look forward to and prefer my road trips. I love that car!

Agree. One of the 'problems' with my MINI was a burned out headlight. Yes, it was a reported 'problem', but one that was fixed for free and not a big deal. I don't feel that makes my car unreliable!
I wanted to add - I bought the MINI because it is fun! Reliability really wasn't a top priority for me.

How do you think those stats were compiled from? Actual mini owners no?
