if you're considering the mini, take a look at the new honda civic si.  the 
body style is very similar to the mini (roomier than the acura) and it shares 
the chassis/powertrain with the rsx.  i recently bought one and just love it. 
 
however, i may have to sell it because i just started my own business and a 
new car may be a luxury i can't afford right now :-(
