I'll just have to go take one for a test drive. Thanks for your input.

I've spent quite a few hours in both the driver's seat and the back seat of a Mini - while the driver's seat is not quite as comfortable as my Miata, it was perfectly enjoyable. Not Mercedes smooth, of course - this is a different animal. Tight, supportive, and precise.

I wouldn't hesitate to hop in a Mini for a cross country drive (something I've done in a Miata half a dozen times now) and I'm within a few months of hitting the half century mark myself.
