I own a 2007 MINI Cooper S.. Just picked it up last week.
People tend to think MINI's are way way expensive, but they arent so bad.
Regular Coopers start at 18,000ish
Cooper S starts at 22.5ish
The car has one of the best resale ratings on the marketing.. usually 2nd after either the Prius or the Porsche 911.
Cooper S is really fast though, faster then a tC with a TRD SC.
The new Cooper S comes with a Turbo engine, they went away with the Supercharger, and its quieter and more comfortable to ride in. It does have a sport button which raises throttle response and tightens steering.
It has insane torque for such a small light car.. 177lbs @ 1500-5000 rpm, and 192lbs overboost when you floor it.
I love my car best purchase ever!
Also the MINI community is really close knit.. you always wave at eachother whenever you pass by its great =]

My dad has Mini Cooper S... 
that car!! Soooooo much fun to drive! Looks like they changed the interior a bit on the '07... his is an '05.
I agree the Mini is small, not much room for anything... hence the name 'Mini' ....but I don't think we should be comparing it to the xB. They are completely different cars altogether...
I say take one for a test drive and then decide.... I personally wouldn't buy one myself, I just steal my dads occasionally for the fun of driving it!

Yep 07's were a redesign exterior and interior.. Not one body panel is the same in the 07's compared to the 06's..
Its a new engine too no more Chrysler Engine, its now a BMW/Pguegot engine thats turbocharged instead of supercharged.
Vintage42: Make sure to try out the new 07's
The torque figures I posted are much higher then the 06's :o
