I have a few friends with them, they rarely have any problems and they say the cars are seriously fun. That said, I hated the shifter feel and seating position enough that I could not drive one.

FYI
My father (from new) bought a 2006 Cooper S- at 28k on the clocks, the clutch is slipping. It's out of warranty, and MINI USA won't good faith it-
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A BULLETIN FOR THIS VERY ISSUE.
So if he does buy one, be aware the clutch can fail, very quickly.
Porsche has engine failures, IMS and RMS issues and will do a 'good faith' replacement. For Mini to not take care of this is unacceptable.

that was in reference to the Porsche engines failing.
I meant to say standard Porsche Turbo engines suck.
