Salesgirl at one of our local BMW shops drivers a Cooper S. Not really much to compare between the old original minis, and what is offered today. I've been in a number of old ones, and while they are great fun, you could never build a car like that today. Not if you plan on selling it in any developed nation anyway.
The new ones seem as though they're bolted together quite well. If there is a drawback, they are a small market, and I think most parts are specific to mini, so parts availability are pretty much limited to the dealer, when things start to fail in time. I haven't heard of any real issues with the new ones. I've never really worried about the cost of fuel, as I don't log that many miles to be honest. But with traffic what it is in the city, driving and parking is becoming a real pain. The mini and W212 are on my short list when it becomes time to replace the mini van in 2-3 years.
