The small size, lightness, and price (relative to other cars I like that all seem to be in the 40-60K range) make it very appealing to me. If we got one, we would keep it indefinitely. It would be the wife's car/city car/extra car. How to justify getting one is the issue. But if dynamically it compares favorably with an E46 , then it has a chance. Soon enough it will warm up and I'll go check it out. I still do want to check out/drive the full JCW version though.
