I think that's in the OED as an example of an oxymoron.

It's the most reliable modern I've had. 67 plate skoda octavia tsi shat its electrics after rac had to change battery due to a parasitic drain, 18 plate nissan qashqai 1.5dci ecu failed and the Hyundai ioniq at 2 weeks old split its heater hose and never kept coolant after that and developed a overheating issue that Hyundai ccouldnt sort. It was written off in the bad storms we had last year. The mini has been flawless if a little thirsty. Mid to high 30s usually but it does weigh 1.6 ton

How the hell can they call it a Mini when it weighs as much as an XJ?
