Mini Cooper S GP what are they like?

[C2james]

hey

considering a new car for next year and just starting looking at these, generally i dont like new minis but i quite like the GP so thought id ask people what they are like as i only tend to see them at PH meets. I dont care that it has two seats and insurance shouldnt be an issue but what are they like to run and live with, they dont seem to depreciate that badly seeing as its a mini which is a good thing.

cheers
