Lol, my first car was a Mini, and he's right, but I had heard about the potential problems and wanted it anyway, so I budgeted generously just in case and, sure enough, used it. It was a 2009 hatchback. Still loved it and am now looking for a 2014+. I considered and test drove the electric, but it's out of my budget and has a limited range. One can dream though.

@Jack K very little with safety? Imagine a MINI from the 50s, or not even that old. A normal car from the 90s with modern engines. The car would be way too light and would be flying off because modern engines are much more advanced. Since car engines are getting more advanced, its easier to get to higher speeds, and to prevent deaths, the car must be bigger to protect the passengers. There are also so many electronic safety features, like adaptive cruise control or blind spot monitors in modern cars that requires more physical space for radars and wires to be mounted. Larger and heavier cars are much safer for everyone. Imagine what would happen to someone who has a light car and someone with a heavier car crashes. Car sizes have to do with safety 95%.

My first car is a mini cooper hatchback 2005, 130k came with her on the clock when I bought her in November 2022. I'm a learner driver and she's the best car I could ever ask for. I've had to fix her and hasn't been expensive at all with all parts sitting at about £160ish total. Car never had a thermostat from when I bought it (lol??), then I bought new wheels and rims cause previous owner didn't tell us they were buckled, wheel bearing, indicator stalk (was damaged as well), control arm ball joint and intake pipe. But then again, I'm able to fix her at home without paying labour and extra charges on top of the needed items as buy the parts from eurocarparts myself and whatnot. The only fault I've noticed on my car is the intake pipe - they tend to split in the same section on old minis and I've had to get a used one from a breaker car from a scrap yard for my girl. And the new one already had a few splits in the rubber so if you can get that new I'd recommend doing so or finding a precautional method (I've just put shit tons of hard activator superglue on mine before it's too far gone. They're only little splits on the "new" one I got. As long as you keep servicing them like with any car every 10k miles or when needed then you'll have no problem with them. I bought my car for £925. Servicing your car will prevent headgasket issues and all that pa-jazz. My car has only failed 4 out of 17/18 times and that's for having a bulb out. She's been well looked after! No rust either and has never had a timing chain issue, no oil leaks ever in her span either. Keep them happy and they'll keep you happy!

If you own any MINI, look after it properly and get quality parts for them, because in the long run, they’ll reward you back.

There's NO SPRING TENSIONER and the minute the serpentine belt gets ONE MILLIMETER of slack, it only occasionally spins the pump and then overheats. I FULLY expected it to be an electric water pump like OTHER bmws have. But it's a bizarre wheel running on the belt also running on the water pump wheel arrangement.

We bought a Mini Cooper used about 2 years ago for 8000$ and it died recently with just over 60‘000 miles (100‘000km). It was a manual and the coupling started making weird noises so we replaced it for I think 2000$. Low and behold a month later the transmission dies and it was an economic total loss (car was worth less than the repair would‘ve cost). Our mechanic said he has another Mini in the shop with exactly the same issue. I think that says a lot about Minis.

A minivan is a pretty underrated first car. They are really freaking practical, and most are pretty strong, for example an oddesy or Siena. I might be getting our family minivan which is a 2013 Chrysler town and country, those can last a long time, just don’t buy one used. If you want to go fast, you actually could. There is a lot of weight reduction you can do because minivans come with a lot of unnecessary crap, and some you could even put superchargers on. With the supercharger thing, they don’t build them for the minivans, but for the engines. For example you could find a trd supercharger, and you might be able to put it on the 3.5 v6 that is used in a lot of Toyotas. Ripp also makes a supercharger for the pentastar v6. However they make it for specific vehicles like the Dodge Challenger, charger, and Jeep Wrangler. So I don’t know if it would work for a caravan or town and country

If you're getting the BOXY looking town and country, FORGET IT. Thry have serious electric issues at 6 MONTHS OLD. Wiring shorting out against the roof in between the headliner at 6 months old. Now THAT'S a reason to make sure fire was included in your car insurance. I have heard of mechanics seeing ones 6 months old with blown head gaskets, wondering if they EVER put the gasket on correctly at the factory. And the odessey??? Skip the early 2000s ones because they had REAL transmission issues. And they've NEVER BEEN good on transmissions since 2000. I got a hyundai trajet van that has done very few miles (like 6500 a year) and it's BRILLIANT. Former company vehicle with more latte spills than you could imagine but even the crash test on them was BETTER than a Mercedes-Benz sedan of the same age. Not a lot of power but it's a 2 ton vehicle. Surprisingly good on fuel if you drive it gently. I get just under 2.5 gal per 60 miles. Yes it's an automatic. Seperate airconditioning for the back too and a heater made for below freezing temperatures.
