I think I'm gonna go with the Yaris.

.

Are you suggesting Mini Coopers are unreliable?If you know something let me know as i'm in the market for a non S version.

As for the Yaris (sedan),very reliable,excellent trade-in value,40+mpg easily obtained with a light foot,great urban commuter car,only downside i can think of is they're gutless when it comes to power.
VW's have become very undependable when it comes to their electrical components,i'd steer clear.

PM me and I will tell you all the dirty little secrets. MINI's are made by BMW. BMW does not have the great a reliability thing going on right now. Parts are mucho expensive.

The upshod here is that I traded my 2003 MINI Cooper S with 60K miles and $700 in on a 2008 Yaris with a warranty. Sick of fixing the damned thing.
