I couldn't find one to test drive, and the Mazda dealer never called me back, so I can't speak to this. On paper, certainly, the Mazdaspeed 3 is impressive, but that's all I have to go on at this point.
I understand what ff is saying. Resale on Minis is strong, but with any car the resale value of options is typically a fraction of their cost (things like leather, sunroofs and automatics excepted). Ff, I think, is saying that a 32K Mini is going to take a big hit compared to a 24K Mini, and I think he is probably right.
