The MINI is getting better reviews for reliability, but unless she's committed to the brand, there are certainly more dependable cars to own, cheaper too..
My 2003 MINI was in the shop for recurrent problems about 9 times (not including tire issues) in the 13 months we had it. Also, beware of runflat tires. They are rather expensive to replace and one little nail (a simple patch for normal tires, $20 ish) is enough to mandate a total replacement. Patches are available but not recommended by MINI. SO.. say you get that nail, 3 times a year you're looking at about $800-1000. Also brakes, not covered by MINI are allegedly quite expensive.
However, what you get is amazing handling, ok mpg (not so hot for such a small car) neat features, sharp styling and decent safety. Just tell her to think hard on it, if she lives farther than walking distance from the dealer.
