They are popular and the prices reflect that.
I never understood the draw of those cars until I drove that one.
It was the turbo John Cooper work version and it was truly fun to drive even around here where the roads are not.
It is just the bench mark I keep coming back to when we have been looking at other roadsters as far as "fun" or engaging.
Cool TVR BTW.
Consumer Reports says to never buy a used MINI due to poor reliability service.
They also state that same position for a used VW New Beetle. And I can attest to that fact. We bought a 2006 VW New Beetle 2.5L convertible back in 2010 (low mileage). And it's the highest maintenance car I've ever owned!!! But the wife loves it - Go Figure!!!!
