I have a 2018 F56 JCW. It's good, but not quite up there with the quality of a BMW. I had a 2007 R56 Cooper S, and the F56 is step up in terms of power and quality, but feels a little less like a go-kart. Mine is very low mileage (under 15k) so I can't really comment on reliability. Get one with as many toys as you can, because that's what makes them fun and unique. I recently sent mine to Beedub for a polish and ceramic coating. Byron also put some PPF on the door shuts because the rubbers gradually wear away the paint (it's a known fault in the Mini community). Here's a video of him applying the PPF: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YJZG87kw2T8
And here's a picture of the Mini once it was done. It's dirty again now - winter

Thanks - I shopped around to get one that colour with a good spec. I'm not really a fan of the wheels so later this year might do a suspension and wheels upgrade. It came with Eibach lowering springs but they caused it to pull to the left so I had it put back to stock. It sat nicely and turned in better, though.
