Many friends of mine have the new minis - and while most will never admit
it - it's their last one. Reliability is a big problem, parts pricing and
availability, service pricing (all of them dealers are BMW trained and have
that same attitude...)

I also drove a few of them and they do handle well - but they fell heavy.

They may hold their value over time, but suspect most owners will spend lots
more maintaining them over time.

Long live the Miata.
