Well, we (son and I) have a fully built MK6 GTI with tons of HP and proper track suspension and big front and rear brakes. It IS more capabe than our Mini, but it is my Son's Daily, so not going to the track anymore....
All of that said, we are European Service Facilitly that is very busy. We see plenty of Mini's of all generations. The most reliable ones are the early cars with the Brazilain motor, full stop. Don't belive me? Buy one and then bring it to our shop for service and repair...
I am VW fan. Family always had one when I was growing up. My frist car was an 83 Scirocco and my second car was an almost new 87 16V Scirocco. Sons first car was a MK2 Jetta with an built ABA in it.... We like VW's, Son't MK6 GTI was a car I bought new after selling the MK5 GTI that we had for 4 years.
But our Mini has been an oddly reliable car. Fit and finish nowhere near the VW.....
Cheers
