Threads like this make me appreciate my 21 year old VW Golf.
Yes it's a POS but when something breaks on it it's easy to fix and there are lots of options for parts.
I was thinking about a second hand Mini as a replacement but maybe I should look at a newer Golf or Polo GTI instead.
Meanwhile the old girl just keeps going and going. I'm actually tempted to keep her until she falls apart around me.
