Purchased brand new in October, 2010. Mainly got it for my wife. Have taken it on many trips to Florida, Chicago, Canada, New York, and others. Fun to drive, great performance, abysmal reliability. Have had it back to the dealer so many times, I’ve lost count. All engine related problems. Oil leaks, recalls, starting problems, check engine light, and on, and on. Engine was made in France by Peugeot. HUGE mistake. It’s been a money pit since the warranty expired. Rest of the car is great! Transmission (6 speed automatic) is Japanese (thank God!) and has performed flawlessly for over 100K miles. We have not abused the car, and I have never missed any scheduled maintenance requirements. I hear the newer models have a BMW engine. Wish we had waited.

I'm an engineer. Quality of Mini is truly MINI. Inside it's cheaply made. Wife bought it without 'consulting' with me. As the result, traded it in 8 months later for Toyota Corolla.

Sportier cars always come with a catch usually more expensive maintenance but it being a performance car means dont cheap out on parts thats asking for something to break it handles amazingly and has good power for a car i still get 35+ mpg in yea theres some slight torquesteer and turbo lag but most fwd turbo cars have some form of both the interior controls are kinda annoying until you get used to them but overall its a fun car meant to be fun to drive and they nailed that. That being said of course automatic is going to have some trouble which is why i got a 6 speed manual which is an incredibly strong transmission and would only fail from operator/owner caused issues or a defect from the factory which is not very likely

Well so far I am having fun driving. I am not sure how it handles in the snow or in cold weather yet so I am trying to wait to pass "full" judgment. As far as the way it handles day to day I find it easy to maneuver and great reaction timing.
A brand new MINI with dead USB port

We bought a brand new MINI a few weeks ago. Before we signed the purchased contract, we found the iphone/USB port does not work. The dealer insured us that was just a very minor and common issue in some 2010 mini and could be fixed easily by updating software upgrade or just replacing a small united called ULH box (where all the wires for the usb/ipod connect). He said if we can wait for a few hours they can fix it. We were so stupid and believed his words, and took the car since we run out of the time stay over there. Now it turns out a very serious problem, after I send the car back for them to fix. They cannot fix the USB port in a few hours but request a few days.
