Got my first MINI yesterday!
Took the day off work and drove 2 hours to pick up a Metallic Blue 2005 MCS yesterday. And, I must say that this might already be the best car I have ever owned and I had 3 Miatas (one turbo). I traded in an 06 Lexus IS250 and found that almost every feature I had on the Lexus was on the mini and more! It's the perfect combination of build quality and performance.
Anyway, I am going to get back to the car now. I am still trying to find places to hide my ipod, phone, sunglasses, soda, etc.

The MINI is better in many, many ways, but I miss the rear wheel drive. It rained here in FL last night and I went for a drive and just spun the front wheels a lot, maybe a little sliding. I liked being able to steer with the back tires. Oh well, can't have everything. Although, I think this may quickly become my fav ride.
I will try to get some pics on later.

I'm not sure if a turbo Miata and a MCS could be compared. They are so different in so many ways! Granted the build quality and the comfort of a new Mini is better, but the lightness and RWD of the Miata with an equal amount of power is just so much fun. I love both cars but I don't think my miata could ever be replaced.
