Sure, go ahead and purchase the Scion - just one thing, though - you will always be haunted by the MINI. Every time you see one you'll ask yourself, "What if?"
That was my dilemma. I really wanted the MINI, but the Toyota RAV4 was my more practical 'other choice' vehicle for many reasons (the dealer was much closer, it has more interior room, a cassette player and CD player, blah, blah, blah). Finally (after 6 mos of indecision!) I followed my heart and bought a MINI. If the MINI doesn't work out, I figured, at least I would've given it a shot and gotten it out of my system. I could eventually trade it in on a RAV4 if things don't go well - take my lumps and kiss the MINI good-bye - but at least I would have answered my "What if?" question.
