Wow, didn't know that the Mini was so...mini haha. No wonder you're loving it. 👍🏻 I assume it's noticeably heavier though? How's the handling vs the MX-5 (pls rate both outta 10).

So I'm going to say something that might possibly be controversial. So yes, the Mini is about 600 lbs heavier than the MX-5. However, I prefer how the Mini handles, despite it being heavier and FWD. And I think it comes down to suspension tuning. The MX-5, while the steering was nice and direct and progressively weighted, the chassis felt a bit... wobbly... under cornering. The Mini on the other hand feels significantly more planted and direct. The steering may not be as communicative as the MX-5's was, but the Mini feels more point and shoot. And to me, that's a bit more fun. Maybe I'm just used to BMWs now and prefer how they feel
If I had to rate them it would be
MX-5: 7
Mini: 8
