I think about a Mini until I do the research

They can be difficult to work on, parts can be pricey, and reliability is only so-so. They are enough of a cult car that the used prices stay high. And remember they are really just FWD BMWs with a funky body, so they are best owned when there is a full warranty.
OTOH, they are a lot of fun to drive. I think about them as I look to thin my fleet and change things up a bit, but when I look at some of the issues I realize it might not be a good move.
I suspect that if you get a one-owner car with full service records and that hasn't been tracked (many Minis see track days) they can be great cars but it's a real proceed with caution buy.
