There's a fun little car. I had two of them, but had to get rid of them when they started to become too expensive to maintain. Once you get out of warranty, they just cost too much. And I also found out they are susceptable to serious suspension damage from normal driving. Beware the strut pillars/towers! If you drive over rough roads on a daily basis they will deform the caps and cause irrepairable suspension damage and make the car worthless. Keep an eye on it. First sign of deformation, get rid of the vehicle. Its a $2K repair (US$) that also makes the car untradeable to a Mini dealer.
