The MINI owners can go suck a lemon we're way above them reability. Oh I have a idea let's all go register accounts on the MINI forum and bad mouth their car. *cough* (eluding to another thread)

Take note that not a single car from the big three are on that list. And we see how well they are doing too. Especially GM and Chrysler.

J.D. Power and Associates always puts out a list of the most dependable vehicles on the road.

2006 Lexus LS 430: Ranked number one with a “record-setting index score for problem-free ownership, setting the best performance in the history of the Vehicle Dependability Survey.” Certainly high praise. (Toyota)
2006 Lexus SC 430: Ranked second. The five most common trouble spots were failed battery, trouble with tire pressure monitoring system, peeling, fading, or chipping paint. (Toyota)
2006 Mercury Grand Marquis (Ford)
2006 Buick Lucerne (General Motors)
2006 Buick LaCrosse (General Motors)
2006 Mercury Montego (Ford)
2006 Toyota Camry (Toyota)
2006 Acura RL (Honda)
2006 Lexus ES 330 (Toyota)
2006 Toyota Avalon (Toyota)

I totally wasn't serious but making fun of a thread that appears to have been deleted earlier as I'm not finding it now.

Note the right side steering wheel, funny front license plate, and repair costs expressed in British Sterling. I think they are the "little three" over there...... or maybe Ford and the little two?

I had a bit of a laugh over the flip side of "Most Reliable".
