When I put my Mini Cooper in for some warantee work a few years back I got dropped at work by one of the duffers at the local BMW/MINI/Land Rover dealer, this was in a Range Rover 'what are they like, reliability-wise?' I asked. 'The good ones are great' said the driver. He left a pause and then said 'but we've not had one of those yet'.
Nuff said, really.
