If my wife's Mini (BMW) is anything to go buy, it has quirks that a car of that age/quality shouldn't have - and everything is more expensive and inaccessible than my Kia.
Incidentally, we got a recall notice for the Mini this week - basically boiled down to "the electric module in the footwell can catch fire, we are working on a solution but don't have one yet. We will let you know when we find a solution and, in the meantime, you probably don't want to park in a garage." (seriously)
