For a first car for a fresh grad, how good a choice is the mini? Is it better to it buy new or used or lease?

    Horrible reputation for reliability. If you really want to buy one, sell it when the warranty is over.

    I’ve owned many cars over the years and at this point I suggest buying Japanese. Having an unreliable car sucks. Japanese cars are very reliable and require little maintenance.

    Depends on your height and shape.

      πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Literally can't count the number of short people jokes I get.. But I guess fitting into a mini is a pretty solid bonus, no?

  • Great car, go for it.
    Make sure it is well inspected before buying. I would say anything <75000 miles should be ok

    Another +1 for Japanese cars. Live frugally it’ll pay off in the long run.

    If you like that style, I would go with a Golf GTI instead.
    More performance, more luxury, more reliable, and more practical as well.
