My wife and I view our Mini like its a disposable camera. It's nice having a little car that is fun, yet gets great gas mileage....

My wife drives an MCS (turbo version) as well. She averages nearly 35 mpg and in the thin air at my house (8,200') it feels almost as fast as my 997S. Park City is a little lower, but I bet that you know what I'm talking about.
Depends on lifestyle. . . kids, mountain biking, dogs, towing track car, hauling clients around, so I went with a swiss army vehicle: my extra large carbon footprint X5. Fast, powerful, reasonably comfortable and nice array of creature comforts.
If I didn't have those needs, I'd get a cool comfortable sports sedan like the new M3, the last gen M5 (I like manual transmissions), or an S4 (RS4 seems overpriced to me).
My daily and only driver is a Boxster without traction control. That makes going out this winter in SF Bay area interesting (lots lots of rain). I am really tempted to get a Subaru Impreza!

Yep; MCS JCW is my "snow/ice" car, GT3, F430, and vintage 911s are my DDs. The MINI gets called to service also if I'm going somewhere with absolutely atrocious parking.
I can take the family of 4 out in the MCS also, which is nice to rip around in the "clown car."
