What is everyones thought on this. This will be my first purchase of anything but a Toyota product since 1979 !

Do some research online and do get a warranty in case something do happen. Is like anything else, there are moving parts and so there is always that chance will eventually breakdown. In the end, go with how you feel. Before I bought my mini Cooper, I did extensive research online and read some pros and cons. Also I received some jokes from friends about driving a cooper. So glad I didn't listen to them otherwise I would have end up with a car that I probably don't fully appreciate and with car payments. I learn that even though I may be paying good money for my Cooper, at least I get some fun drive out of it, and I fully enjoy what I invested on. No regrets.
