We had a mini cooper s for 3 years and 30K+ miles maybe even 40K I forget. It was fine for the two of us on long trips and around town driving. Mileage wasn't great, but it was fun to drive. My biggest annoyance with teh car was excessive tire noise. Probably because it comes with runflats. Car was killed when T boned by a Ford Taurus at 45 mph. The car was hit sqare on the passenger door and punted 50 feet down the road from the impact. passenger I was amazed at how well the car held up. The car was totaled, but their was no intrusion into the passenger area of the car and all the doors still worked. Wife walked away with only some aches and missing her glasses and shoes. Flew off during the impact. The ford on the other hand looked like it hit a wall. None of the four doors opened the a pillars bent and popped out the windshield the roof bent Fire department had to pry the drivers door open to get the guy out. It was a mess.
