Ich! I'm officially a purist and an old fart now.

"That’s very MINI, but so too is its exterior, despite its 4.11m length."

That's an oxymoron.

I've got more then a little purist old fart in me and but I don't hate it like I thought I would.
I was expecting it to be more small SUVish but this is more of a wagon / hatch hybrid...
I'm just glad it's not an SUV. SUV should be designed for park rangers not soccer moms.
I guess if I had wife and a couple of kids and needed something more practical then my mini, I might look at one but I'd probably go with a 3 series wagon personally.
