Hi Guys, I am planning to buy a 2011 Mini Countryman with about 60 000KM for my wife. I just want to know how reliable are these cars? I have done an online search to get more insight about these cars in terms of reliability, maintenance and so forth and noticed that the 2011 model was among the batch that was recalled for some repairs, other than that, I did not pick up anything of major concern about these cars besides mostly negative comments (high rate of turbo failure) made by people whom I observed neither own nor have previously owned a mini.
So an honest experience regarding the car’s overall reliability and other issues of concern that I should be aware of will be appreciated. My wife insist on the mini, but I don’t want to buy her problematic car, more so because she will be driving with our 1 year old baby most of the time. I understand the car is also fitted with run-flat tires which is good, otherwise I will just have to persuade her to get the Hyundai i20 which will be a bit of a mission![Ty]( "Ty")
