I love the Minis. I have only logged time in a regular Mini but should soon get some wheel time in a Cooper S cab. (One of my sisters and her hubbie had a base Mini and now a Cooper S cabrio. It's a 3rd car for them.) They handle so well and feel very nimble. It's like a little street go-kart. The quality is very good and the car feels solid. There is a certain BMWness about it for sure.

I'd get the S model for sure and I'd get it in a tintop.
