After having owned a MINI and going into 2010, what would you guys buy if for some reason you were going to trade your MINI in. If you MINI is a daily driver, pick something you could drive every day. If it is a weekend car, pick something you'd drive on the weekends.

We know it'll be QUITE a while until we get another car we really want (might pick up a beater somewhere in-between) but right now the only car we've seriously mentioned is the Audi R8.
honestly i wish i could trade in(not necessary yet) for a brand new r53. i love my car, loves the body of the r53, not sure i'd buy an r56. if i had to choose a non mini it'd probably be a certified used bmw of some sort.

I'd get a MazdaSpeed 3. 263hp great handling and the same price as a MCS.
We paid a lot less for our Speed 3 than MINI wanted for a new MCS. Like 5 grand less, comparably equipped (the only option we didn't get was navigation). Granted, the Mazda had been on the lot a few months, but it still had less than 100 miles on the odometer. If they had been closer in price, and my MINI dealer didn't low ball us on a trade in offer for our old MINI, I'd be driving a new 2009 MCS right now instead of a 2006 MC convertible.
If I absolutely couldn't have a MINI, I'd probably get a Subaru. We have lots of snow here, and I like the AWD.

They had one of these on Top Gear, seemed to like it a lot. Excellent for driving down hallways, and actually fits in an elevator.
