Heyooo!
Hi! I'm new here ... duh. I currently have a 2007 Mazdaspeed3, and am going to need a daily driver VERY soon. I am strongly considering a Mini Cooper S as my 2nd car, but still haven't made up my mind as to whether I should go new or used, SC vs. TC.
So, I'll probably be bothering you all quite a bit for reviews or certain modificatioins and such. Don't worry, I'll search before I bother you.
Oh, I forgot to put a picture of my current car. This is the most recent pic I have, it's going through major changes in two weeks, and again in mid-October:

There are a ton of prior threads on this... use that little search button on the upper right.
BUT, that being said, I did the same thing about 6 mo. ago... you can tell which one I liked better by my sig...
The only thing I can tell you is to go test drive one of each...
BTW, I looked at the MazdaSpeed3 before I bought my '06 MCS...
(It was used, but the prior owner put on only 8200 mi in ~1.5yrs before returning to England. The only options were 17" wheels, multi-fxn wheel, lsd.
I saved about 6K by going CPO, and got the extended warranty to boot.
Happy shopping!

Welcome to NAM!
I had the same question. 
My SO has an MS3 as his daily driver and the MINI is his weekend/fun car.
Either way, your daily drive will always be fun!

Modding that Mazdaspeed3 is addictive. It will be my track/weekend car. Lots of $$$ going into it, so I figured I should buy a daily driver ... hahah, and hopefully I can keep my dirty paws off of the MINI.

Yes.
No way. 
If you like modding and the track, just wait 'til you start in on a MINI.
