Funny you post this. I too had a mini and sold it earlier this year
2005 cooper s. It has to be the most fun car ive ever owned aside from my mr2 turbo. The mini feels like a go cart with tons of power or so it feels because of the hp/lbs ratio. The mini is an amazing daily driver. The shifter is so notchy. The brakes are amazing. Pano roof is a great feature. But the trim and finish is not up to par. Cheesy steering wheel and thin leather always torn. Hated the power window switches. Superchager maintenance aint cheap either. The box here in Canada isnt. I love the box for different reasons I loved the mini.
The driving experience is different in the boxster. Top down, rear wheel drive and mid engine. Was the next newest thing I could find to replace my t-top Mr2. The boxster isnt lightning fast 0-60 isnt good but it handles well and feels planted. My stereo is great, 3 spoke steering wheel feels perfect, seats are perfect. Wait till April. Then take a 1 day trip on the backroads up to sauble beach. Top down. Then you'll connect with it
The mini just feels imo like a go cart. Its so fun tho. I miss it everyday. Im considering buying another if the price is right.
