Good man, I wouldn't buy a new car for the same reson. I might if I could afford to take the hit!
The Supercharged model is good and not too bad on the mpg! I haven't driven a turbo one yet, I might do that next time at home.....
You can't go wrong buying a new mini as the residuals are excellent and they are pretty cool (especially in specced up mode) the basic specs are pretty poor for the money!
