Just thought i would chime in. Im looking at buying myself a S model when the new year hits i was going to look on the site to research any known problems the cars have. I will be buying used. I work in the car finance business and know its smarter to do for me. I am also considering a 350z, g35, rsx type s and a evo. Pretty hefty comp for the mini but i love little hatches. I currenty own 2 now. Both hondas.

 

Cool, welcome aboard! Have you driven a Cooper S? Once you do you won't even want to consider any of those other cars.
