Do people not read Consumer Reports before buying a used car? These Minis’ automobiles problems are very well known. If you read anything about them before purchasing, it would dissuade you from buying this model.
Every year Consumer Reports sends a survey to all of the subscribers to their magazine. Their collected data is very accurate because of the large sample they take. In addition there is so much information about everything on the internet today it amazes me that some people actually buy this type of junk. That is why my last five autos have all been Ford, Honda and Toyota.
FR’s experts really dislike CR because of its preference for faux green vehicles.
Those small luxury vehicles are all expensive to maintain, even the reliable ones like Acura and Lexus. Except for Acura and Lexus, they’re mostly bad deals as used cars.
Auto personality has a price.
