Good looking couple of Minis. 4 door is very practical, too. If you keep a Mini well maintained and don't do too much crazy stuff with it, it should be a good reliable daily, that's way more fun to drive than other cars. Great choice.

My problem with pulling the trigger is all the horrific stories I've read on here and across the interwebs. There seems to be a absolute love with the car itself, yet a real disgust for the product. I'm fairly mechanical so many things I'd be capable of fixing...I don't want to ramble...I guess I just want to know are the 2007s-09s really that bad.
DO IT!

I bought an '08 MCS with 36,000 miles on the clock and I couldn't be happier! All I had to do was change the thermostat, everything else (fuel pump, timing chain and tensioner, valve gaskets) was all taken care of by the previous owner.

I have 42,000 miles currently after a few months of driving and no real problems. I am planning on a walnut blasting and spark plug change soon.
