Default Mini dealer now wants $1k to be on waiting list. Delivery date still
unknown. I like this car but can't figure out if it is all emotional or not. I do think the Cooper -S will be a screamer. 165hp and 2200 lbs. My TT is 250hp and 3300 lbs. So Mini is 13.3lbs/hp and my TTRQ is 13.2lbs/hp. Not that that is the only comparison but at least we are getting into a nice neighborhood.

Default OK, I like the cars and would probably enjoy one but....
they are going to sharing the road with Ford Excursions ans all manner of other SUVs often piloted by cell phone-impaired drivers.

That makes me just a litle nervous.

That's fairly arbitrary considering you're driving around those same roads in a TT.

Not really, as the TTR is more than 1,000 pounds heavier.

Default I seriously doubt that's going to make much difference if a 2.5 ton SUV comes...
...crashing down on you from above.

I dunno. I know I'd certainly rather be in a TTR than in a Miata.
