At the end of the day I still have two Mini’s and never would own a Mazda, while the 3speed is quicker I have opted to go for a little style over speed. Still wish that Mini would have done more with the JCW as anytime the two are compared the MS3 will get thumbs up over the Mini because of its quickness and the utility of four doors.

At the end of the day you would still own a Mazda… I would take a base Cooper over the MS3, but maybe that’s just me… ;)

Was thinking more of a direct car to car comparison between the JCW Mini and the Mazda3 Speed. Which btw the 3speed will still out pull the JCW. A Mazda3 Speed will run circles around a S and will out pull a JCW at a fraction of the cost.

Still get the feeling every time that they would choose the Mazda3 speed over the Mini for pure driving fun at a fraction of the cost.

a mazda 3 costs a fraction of $22k?

I have to agree with Ian, top 12 just feels odd. Still get the feeling every time that they would choose the Mazda3 speed over the Mini for pure driving fun at a fraction of the cost.

The thing I find strange about WR… one day I go there and it’s WR the next time it’s Next Auto? I have to keep changing the link to them.

Top 12, not top 10? Strange!
