hmm... i didnt know the MINI had a reputation for good reliability... ive always been a Honda/Toyota person when it came to getting a car because i know they are reliable... Granted i have a MINI now, i felt like i was taking a gamble on reliability.

If you step back one from the MINI it will break down a little on how they made their decisions. After looking over the whole list. I think the Civic is one that should not be on there. About a year ago I went to look. At 15k you get no AC and no stereo, all manual seats and mirrors. If you want AC and stereo included, its the same price as upgrading to the next trim level. And in that trim level the stereo is molded into the dash, more so than our cars.
