ADAC rates MINI #2

ADAC (the German version of AAA) has a report in their latest magazine, listing the number of breakdowns per 1000 cars within the last year (i.e.: for every 1000 2002 Mini's, 12.3 of them broke down in 2006).

In the small car class, Audi's A2 places first, with Mini right behind.

The results:

2002 - 12.3
2003 - 7.7
2004 - 4.9
2005 - 2.6
2006 - 2.0

While I'm sure the numbers are slightly skewed, due to volume; I was very surprised to see Mini rank so high. It beat cars such as the Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz, Mazda 2, and 20 other small cars of European make.

Hopefully the R56 will not deviate from this trend.
