what’s wrong with a wagon?

We also love the original Toyota FJ Cruiser

yes, the dreaded N14/N18 in the R56 sealed Mini’s bad reputation, I don’t know one owner of a 2007-11 who hasn’t had issues.

I’m also in the market for an E91 here in Canada, it’s not that easy and I’m not even looking for the manual transmission unicorn (I already have a 6 speed Euro hot hatch), most enthusiast/owners are holding on to them, some 3rd-4th owner of questionable history for sale, too old to have it as a 1 owner lease return…

I agree and I’m a Mini owner (currently own the 1st Gen Cooper S aka R53). If i had to replace it with something a bit more practical, it would be the 4-door MK7 GTI.

the R56 was also supposed to be much reliable than the R53 when it came out

too soon junior

so true!

LOL! I like your reply. I like the Abarth as well

The world is small. I’m looking to replace the Accord wagon with an E91, it’s more classy and sporty but doesn’t have as much cargo space as the Accord though. The wife is tired of the Honda beater, told her ok, but it has to be another wagon. ;)

‘95 Accord Wagon here, sub $1k, found on Kijjiji

I agree. I drive a ‘95 Accotd, well below my means, in traffic everyday with the usual leased BMW/Audi/Mercedes, I don’t think anybody cares what the other one drives, the difference is that mine is paid off.

and Vermont prefers Subaru

good point.

there he is, was waiting for you to show up. I told another commenter using his experience with rental FCA cars to watch out

a more diplomatic way of me saying that Brits have low standards when it comes to car reliability

don’t say you judge cars based on your driving experience of low mileage rentals, you’re going to get LongVoyager (or whatever the FCA cheerleader screenname is) triggered, as a I did in a previous post on the Giulia.

being British, you have low standards to start with (when it comes to car reliability that is)...
