Don't waste your money. I have worked in the auto biz since 1975 and I can assure you that Mini's are crap.
I can't speak for the general brand reliability, but I had one of the very first "new" Cooper S models (supercharged) in the UK. Ran it for 3 years & over 120,000 miles without fault outside of service components. Great little point & squirt car. I recently drove the new turbocharged version, & found it to be a little boring by comparison, & a touch on the bulky side too.

Wow, Andy, 40,000 miles a year! I thought my 30K/yr was a lot.

There's only one way to find out.....
