I first drove a Mini when they came out. Very solid car and smooth power. You get BMW technology for a lot less.
However, it lives up to it's name. This car is small and the back seat might as well be a shelf. A Porsche has more leg room in the back and the trunk is bigger than a Mini!
In the end I ended up purchasing a GTI. Get a lot more for your money. Bigger engine, bigger interior, etc. As much as I love a convertible I just couldn't justify the Mini. But hundreds of thousands do justify the Mini each year so the decision is up to you! Good Luck!
