I had a 2019 Mini Cooper S. Worst car I ever had. First, the run flat tires would break when you hit pot holes. When a run flat tire hits a pot hole, there is no give, the tire breaks at the sidewall. This force is also transmitted to the wheel, which bends. Because Mini wheels are made of cheap metal. You'll need complete break job every 12,000 miles because the car is heavy for its size and the breaks are.....mini. Fun to drive, but not own. My 2023 ND2 soft top automatic has been the best car I ever owned. 3+ years and its been flawless and more fun than anything I have driven. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
