i've looked over a lot of threads and have seen you all complain about the storage aspect of the Mini. When my best friend first got his Mini, i completely thought the same thing, but one day that all changed. My best friend and i, and our girlfriends (so, 4 of us), drove from Phoenix to Los Angeles last February for the D1GP event with 2 days of luggage for all of us, in his Cooper S. Believe it or not, 5 hour trip each way, 4 people, 4 bags. And it wasn't all that bad (and i was in the BACK with my girl). Mini does good : )
