I only got 11 years and 270,00 kms.out of my Ford Winstar. Took it to Florida 3 times, Vancouver twice, Texas, Louisiana, all up and down the east coast. I spent all day test driving cars and If I had to make a decision right now based on my bank account and how good those cars felt to drive, and how solid they seemed, I'd buy a Mini Cooper hands down. I could put the seat back and my feet didn't even touch the floorboards at the end.

We drove 4 other cars, Focus, some Hyundai, a Rav4, and a Honda, all of those built in North America except the Hyundai, which felt cheap. So did the Focus. The Mini is built in the UK.
