Having both, a 99 boxster and an 09 base mini. I have to say theyre both a blast to drive, but
I prefer the RWD of the boxster and having been one of only a few folks to take apart and rebuild one of the Mini 6 speeds I agree thay are pretty easy to work on. especially once you get the hang of pulling the motor in an afternoon. But I believe you will spend every bit as much modding a mini as you will the boxster. The "S" Minis are quick, but temperamental, with the emphasis on mental when running increased boost. I used to run a Factory Five 5.0L with a Kenne Bell S/C and I could run tons of boost with simply messing with timing retard. You do that on a Mini and you're going to have head bolts through the hood.
