I don't think a Mini would ever come into my "to buy" list, period. I love the way they look, but they (IMHO) are vastly underpowered for what they are... I'd take an Si, Focus SVT, or even a GTI 337 over a Mini Cooper S pretty much any day of the week. I can't say that I would ever buy a car for its trendiness and/or physical appeal over function.
On that note, if it came down to one or the other, I'd keep the Saab. I don't see one of those hot hatches doing what I need to on a daily basis. My roommate has a Focus and my best friend a GTI VR6. They're fun, but but too small for my tastes and they don't make up for it with fuel economy superior to a c900, so what's the point?
