Worth every bit of the wait. The buying experience was great from start to finish, even if we paid sticker. The car itself is a blast, and we've already driven it 8000 miles in 4 months. No problems whatsoever. No squeaks, no glitches. The car is quick- we have the S model and it loves to go. There is a great deal of support provided by aftermarket groups like www.mini2.com, and we've attended some local Mini Motoring events which have been great. Nothing like 25 Minis driving in single file to get peoples attention! We get honks, waves, and smiles. No one has ever flipped me off in this car- it's like there's a road rage free zone around the thing.
