Given how insanely high the %'s are for the Pooper S, and with the free scheduled maintenance, I would just 'rent' the Mini. You can always go for an an Akropoficasac (sp???) exhaust to make it sound angrier than the Abarth.

minis arent exactly the most reliable things out there...

my customer with has had it with their 07' cooper S.

carbon build up this and that.. and the engine actually failed with only 54k kms!

the car has spent more time in the shop than on the road!
