I suppose you are technically right here, since our politicians have decided to do so, (metaphorically speaking) in the time period from the 1992 till the March of 2003. But let's call it what it is... or better said: what they've decided not to call it. It was merely an Alliance of now standalone Republics of Serbia and The Republic of Montenegro. The S.R.Y. stands for "Savezna Republika Jugoslavija" or translated to English: "Allied Republics of Yugoslavia". In fact, most of the rest of the World have called it just that: "Serbia and Montenegro". how much stable that Alliance was, (i am sad to say) you can see today, if you take a look at the political map of the European Continent.

    I guess I'm one of the rare ones that have had a great experience with the 5.4. I bought my 2000 f150 from my dad when I was in highschool. My dad is the original owner of the truck and to this day I'm still driving it. Other than basic maintenance the only things I've had to do it is replace the radiator, heater core, blower motor, water pump and a small oil leak. It just hit 348,000 miles while still rocking the original engine and transmission. Doesn't smoke or knock at all and no transmission slips either. Runs and rides smooth. My friends that are mechanics have told me I'm really lucky that I've gotten so many miles out of it with only minor repairs done to it. I'm going drive her till she quits and probably rebuild her lol.

    Yes the R56 minis and the classic minis are known to be unreliable, but the F56 is most definitely an exception. The new B48s in them are very reliable, they have improved massively since the R56. But people don't know the difference, because in the end it is still seen as just a mini and therefore grouped with the previous models, with their terrible reputations for reliability.
    My conclusion is that F56s are VERY reliable, R56 and backwards, not so reliable.

    Jeep Wranglers (older JK models) are very safe. I had one, my girl still has one... a guy in a Nissan SUV pulled out in front of her from a side road and she crushed that little box and spun him right around in a 180 and across the street, lol. She only had bumper damage and a scuff mark on her fender from the bumper cover hitting it. The Nissan, was totaled. She drove home, didn't even set off her airbags at 30 miles per hour.
    As for reliability, the 3.6L Pentastar is probably their best engine, the new models have oil issues, etc. The older 4.0L were good as well but had some failures. People think Wranglers are unreliable while forgetting that we drive these offroad. You don't drive your Nissan Altima up the side of a mountain like we do. Obviously there will be problems as we bash these things on the trails. Many of the issues derive directly from lift kits and over sized tires straining everything. Lift your Subaru 4 inches and put 37 inch tires on it, bash it on a mountainside several times a month and see how long before you have problems.

Eventually he got to servise ON IT and technicians fixed the problem. It was 11 years ago.

So, I don't know what would have caused the brakes to finish that quickly, however, the second set is fine and past 40k. I wouldn't not buy a car because the brakes didn't last particularly long, there are simple and relatively cheap upgrades that come in many different fashions to choose from if, indeed, it is a manufacturer's shortcoming. I definitely do not pick a car based on that. The Mini is an absolutely fantastic car. As far as my experience goes, only Japanese cars will go 80/100k kms before needing brakes.

    HAHA I had 2 from that list. Had an Allroad 2.7t, and currently have an Mini Cooper S R56 (N18). The Audi was surprisingly reliable, save for the air suspension which was constantly acting up. If I had known I would have done the coilover conversion right off the bat. But otherwise, it never needed more than basic maintenance/fluid changes. The Mini however is not good. It's certainly a blast to drive, but it needs some sort of repairs a few times a year, (and often the same repairs done again, which really say it was a poor design to begin with) plus it seeps oil out nearly every gasket and seal.

If you treat them like a rotary they are just as reliable as any other car. I daily drive it in the warmer half of the year and I daily drive a saturn in the colder and salty half of the year. I've had some issues with the saturn over the years and not one with the rx8.

      Also an owner of a series 2 RX8 (2009) for 11 years here - Buyers do need to realise that rotary engines are not as bad as people seem to say on a lot of these channels (That especially seem to buy beat up RX8s which haven't been treated well, and then proceed to complain about them). I've put around 160K KMs on my R3 as a daily driver in 11 years, and have only had the following repairs - Water filled taillights (Fixed with new gaskets and some sealing work, classic RX8 problem though), ignition coil/plug/lead replacement at 90K Kms (They do seem to degrade a little quicker in rotaries compared to piston engines), fixing the AC compressor and condenser (Another common RX8 issue), and the Takata airbag recall (Which was fixed by Mazda). Other than these, and your regular services which sometimes entail fluid flushes and filter replacements, my car has had the same sort of repairs a piston engine would. Any sort of engine rebuild is nowhere in sight with compression healthy, but I might do a seal / O Ring replacement around 200k KMs (120K Miles) mainly because I want to street port this car, so we have to take it apart anyway. Of course I do all the other stuff that you should do to your rotary like redlining, doing my own oil changes, letting the car warm up properly, and turning it off after reaching optimal temperature.
      Love the rotary platform, I have a FD efini as well and an E30 that's been 13B swapped. The FD has had some issues with the turbos (No apex seal wear though as we found out when we street ported it) - But this one is a weekender with fewer miles than the RX8. I've personally had no major issues with any of these cars and the platform.
      I feel like too many of these RX8s ended in the hands of people who didn't know about rotaries - fortunately some of these great cars have ended up with enthusiasts who understand this platform, and will take care of these cars for life.

The first "new" Minis did use the Tritec, but only for about 5 years in the early 2000s before they replaced it with the THP and VTi equivalents shared with Peugeot and Citroën models. The new engine lineup has been used in the Mini range for much longer than the Tritec.

    I have a 2003 2.7t Audi allroad with a stage 1 tune pushing 20 psi on stock everything and I’m closing in lv 200k miles. It’s not they’re they’re unreliable it’s that people done take care of them and beat on them. If you take care if it it will take care of you. I expect mine to last well past the 200k mark! (No major repairs have been done to the car, only routine maintenance and the occasional timing bet)

      I drive a 2004 VW 1.8t with 200k miles on it. Stage 1 tune, 18psi boost and all the bolt on mods. Engine, turbo and trans all original. Americans hate maintaining cars. Not I though.
