is a '22 mini cooper a reliable car?

I unfortunately don't know much about cars besides that this car is so cute imo. it's funky but in a silly way. The thing is it can be pretty expensive which I plan to buy a used one but even then it's decently expensive. I asked some of my friends and they said I should get it but their only reason was bc it was cute and they didn't give me a real reason to get it. I want it soo bad but I just need to know if its worth it before I get too attached. I've seen so many mixed opinions and i'm just not too sure and rlly don't want to waste my time and money on it if its not reliable.
