Thinking about getting rid of my wee coop......but what to buy?

Not to sure if im going to stick with the MINI due to loads of warranty work early on with the one ive got and lots of stories of continuing warranty issues even on 2004 build cars.
If only BMW would get there fingers out and sort the silly wee niggly problems.

Actually found myself at a honda dealer today looking at a type R civic....... time will tell I suppose!
