Thanks for everyone's input. I'm a guy, so to the guy who mentioned about the Mini being a girl car, that probably is the case of not wanting to get one. I think they look sweet though in all black. I guess the problem would be that no matter how much I change or mod it, it's still a Mini afterall....however, they probably handle really well. So I understand what your saying.

To the other guy who mentioned about leasing, and then having to worry about paying for scratches and all that shaz when I bring it back. What if I lease initially since the payments will be slightly lower, with the intent of financing after my lease term is up? Has anyone done that? To me it would seem that if things get wrecked but I'm planning on keeping it anyway, then it doesn't matter if I bring the car back with dents, scratches, etc (not something I try to make happen though). Plus when I bring it back and finance, then I'd think the payments would be lower, because I'm then financing less. I guess what I'm trying to figure out, is a way to still have a toy, despite getting older. I'll be 29 soon, I'm getting married in august, and I'll be looking into getting a house but also paying down some other debts. I already agreed to sell my R6, so I'm scrounging to keep some vehicle that's fun to drive/ride. Most would think that getting a vehicle of this cost is unreasonable, so I'm trying to see if I can pull it off. I drive over a hundred miles a day, round trip to work, and I'm not really liking my 03 RSX base. I'm looking to trade, but also trying to pay down the negative equity which I'm going to get hit with when I try to trade. So that's my situation and why I wanted to know if anyone has driven those vehicles. I will admit that I'm an avid Honda-boy, and have been for the past 7 years. So the Si Coupe/Sedan is probably the car I'd do my pricing research on. Growing up and making mature decisions sucks. haha.
