Ready to Buy!

I’m currently driving a 09 Honda Civic. Ya ya I know it’s a civic lol. It’s just my daily driver. Well she’s now seen her days and now it’s time to get the car I’ve always wanted.
I’m looking for a post supercharger era Mini S but pre 2014 model. With in those years what would be the best model?

Nothing between '07 and '10. I don't understand the SC reluctance. That SC whine while carving the twisties is intoxicating...and the W11 engine, the lump,is near bulletproof.

No objection to the Civic. They are perfect for people who need a reliable commuter. Dependable without the excitement of a MINI.

The most reliable are are the last years of each generation. 05 / 06 and 12 / 13. (Up to 08 for the convertible)

Many say the supercharged first generation is the more reliable.

The first generation is the smaller more gocart like and some say the best of the bunch, although all MINIs are a lot of fun.

I would be be interested to hear your concern about the supercharger.
