Your comment about the MINI not being up to BMW 3-series quality is a bit surprising, since from my experience the MINI seems to be a match at least for low end BMW/Audi quality, if not the high-end products. (And I've owned an Audi A3 in the past which is the VW Golf equivalent.)

I should clarify that the overall quality impression I got was very favourable. The exterior was right up there with my BMW. The Cooper S even gave me the impression of solidity just being in it's presence--I realize that is an odd comment, but it's an impression I tend to get from German cars like BMWs and Audi's. My 'general' observation was really directed at a few bits and pieces on the inside that seemed a bit low-rent.

Regards,
Shawn
