Can you imagine flying all the way from Colorado to New York to pick up your new Mini?

nope, I don't think that I would every buy one :dunno:

I'd take an SVT Focus over the Mini S, cheaper too :dunno:

Yup. That and the GTI are both more logical choices. But, IMO, the Mini is not about logic.

The Focus is more fun to drive, so I hear :dunno:

It doesn't look "cute" either. The GTI is nice, but kinda pricey and in dire need of suspension, tire, and shifter modifications....

have u been in a Mini? if you've been in one, i think you'd want one too.

Nope, only seen the outside.

The interior seems kind of gimmiky though, certainly nicer than the Ford :dunno:

A used Integra Type-R would be a nice, more practical alternative to both.

I certainly have no desire to get rid of my 328Ci for one :dunno:
