You are missing the main point. The S is exciting because of its handling characteristics. When you go into a corner a little fast it is that slight apprehension which makes it exciting. You drive every journey waiting for that kick in the teeth, that moment, that rush. You end every journey with a smile because for that trip your driving skills were adequate to tame the beast, next time they may not be. This is what makes the S much more fun to drive than a Mini ( and Boxter), they get you to where you want to go but don't make your juices flow or thrill you every day.
Good luck with the mini but after a while you will just think of it is a car. There is nothing like an S.

Especially the cornering bit.....

In my eyes, even after 12 years of being the same "shape" with little lighting and bumper tweaks, the S2000 is still the most attractive roadster on public roads. I love the sleek lines and different "looks" it has from various angles.
To others, who dont look beyond its roadster shape, it just looks like a kinda longer nosed MX-5. When I handed the keys to its new owner in 2005 (my last MY00 I owned), I knew i'd come back one day after bringing a couple of sprogs into the world.
I've driven / owned about 15 performance cars in total... only the S has cast this repeat ownership on me.
I adore it, and will always have one until there are none left in the country.
