I really like the car except for ONE THING- the trim piece above the fender (diagonal piece that contains the S). Why are cars these days including these cheap-looking pieces? (think ford focus). Other than that I like the car. Might be my next MINI in a few years since our family is growing.</p> Nice write-up.

Though, if WRC is an end goal, maybe, but it's not a MINI... to me.</p> I’m sorry but I can’t agree with Gabe or you guys. Though, if WRC is an end goal, maybe, but it’s not a MINI… to me.

I imagine that it'd be a lease if I got one and that it'd be our only vehicle, which would justify the higher cost from a budget standpoint. I think you're right though, MINI is always seemingly flirting with "are you frakking kidding me?" pricing on their fabulous little cars. Prices really seem inflated overall though. You can't get a decently nice car anymore without spending close to $30k. Even Honda's new AWD sport wagon version of the Accord is near $32k done well. For a toaster, no less! I guess we'll see.</p> Price is also a concern for me. I imagine that it’d be a lease if I got one and that it’d be our only vehicle, which would justify the higher cost from a budget standpoint.

i’d never buy one, but i’m happy with how it looks. i still can’t get over the idea of a MINI SUV, but as long as it keeps the MINI brand afloat to continue making decent small car models, i can live with it…i guess.
