I have access to two Minis and have driven them enough to say they are fun cars, but the insides seem a little janky and confusing to me. The screened in sunroof is a brilliant feature but the weight sensor on the passenger seat angered me to no end, a magnum of wine and a modest amount of takeout food placed on it is enough to set the seatbelt warning off.. although the seat warmers do a decent job of keeping my samosas warm.
The fact that it's made by BMW (an un-Bangin' award winning company) makes me look at those little Fiats with a little more enthusiasm, and Fiat has a Gucci package...
