What is your definition of a sports hatch? 0-60 in 6.5, corners like a dream, can keep up with cars at twice the cost. Sounds like a sport hatch to me...

Mine has 1700 miles. Tight as a drum no squeeks or rattles and frankly after reading threads on this forum for 9 months before purchase, I expected some rattles and squeeks. Mini feels much tighter and well constructed than my 2007 CR-V, which has some rattles albeit it has 42000 miles on it.
