Keep in mind, like any tech board, most people posting on the Mini boards are those with problems. Tens of thousands of Mini owners have had zero problems. My wife owns a '06 Mini and a friend of mine has an '02 Mini S. My friend's S had a problem with the transmission that required a reflash of the software. My wife's Mini had a thermostat housing leak that was easily fixed. Both cars are daily drivers. My wife on numerous occasions has driven her Mini up to see her mom in South Dakota, including in winter. My friend's '02 has 105,000 miles on it. If the one you are looking at passes a PPI I would say it will be a reliable, fun car for many more miles.
