Economy
Value
Ok, so it's more expensive than its rivals, but worth every penny. Just look at the resale prices!
Costs
Can't beat the TLC, but already had to replace one tyre due to a puncture... 16" runflat - £110 - not cheap.

On the road
Driving
Great fun. Glad I took the advice and had sports suspension and 16" wheels - best combination.
Performance
Needs a heavy right foot, but definitely worth it. Whizzes at 4000rpm+.

Living with it
Reliability
Only 6 months old and no issues so far...
Image
Nothing else comes close. A complete head turner.
Comfort
Sports front seats worth it. Forget the back seats and the boot.

Security and Service
Security
Had the factory alarm put on, just to be on the safe side.
Service
Scotthall MINI Leeds were fine. Warned about poor service from the BMW side, but no complaints with the MINI guys. Even fitted in my tyre replacement at very short notice.
