Fantastic engine, strong performance, entertaining drive.
Very expensive, redundant rear seats, cutesy looks.

The JCW models are now made on the mainstream Mini production lines, and should be as reliable as any other Mini. Though the first-generation models could be quite troublesome, in recent years most mechanical gremlins have been cured and owners have reported little more than niggling faults with fit and finish; some of the interior detailing and plastics are rather cheap-feeling for a car this price.
Mini has lately ranked 8th in the JD Power survey of manufacturers, and 24th out of 100 in the model-table.
