    As an owner of a 2011 mini cooper S, seeing mini at number 3 blows my mind. This list is either nonsense or Mini has completely changed.

      It’s the latter. Your generation was just a badly engineered vehicle, which, no offense meant as I had a 2012 myself.

      Lol, yeah, everything has been completely redesigned since them. The b48 motor was designed from the ground up by BMW. The N series prince engines were blocks designed by Peugeot, and then done up pretty by bmw. Anything after 16 is gonna have the reliability. 2 door hard tops are reliable back to 2014.

      Yeah I had to sell my 2009 Mini S at 70k miles because I was going down the same failures on the forums like a checklist

      My 2018 cooper is night and day from the 2012 countryman I used to have. The newer engines are quite solid.

        Same, I had a 2012 and currently a 2018 and the build quality jump is really noticeable, especially the longer I’ve had the ‘18.

      No shit, your car is 13 years old and their model lineup has been basically unchanged ever since. Not crazy to think they might have worked out some of the kinks in the intervening decade.
