And we all know that Consumer Reports is infallible. Besides, it sounds like he's talking based on his personal ownership experience.

i'm a she. and yes, i'm talking from personal experience. the 2004 mini cooper is my current car...but it's at the shop. they told me it's another $2500 to replace the radiator, the power steering, and to fix a leak in the engine.

i only have 52k miles and have had power steering fixed twice, the brakes replaced, 3 alignments, tire rods replaced... all this stuff!
i'm telling you... it's a piece of shit.

I'd find a different independent mechanic as it might be that your current one could be ripping you off with unneeded expensive repairs,just a possibility..But you are right about the MINI being expensive to repair,a story out of Toronto had a woman paying $11000 to replace a transmission,the dealer didnt want to cover the cost saying the woman never checked the oil level in the tranny.
