My mate has the Type R which he got second hand. He got a really good deal from Honda on it and is really pleased with it. No complaints and is currently looking at the supercharger kit for it. Personally I am not convinced about the lines on it, looks a little too estate like than coupe IMO.

Watched the Italian Job the other night (remake) and my girlfriend wants a new mini now. I can see her thinking and even though I vowed never to go in another old mini again after a shunt, the new one I could be tempted with for her. May go and have a test drive in the next few days.

Those are the only two I would consider from that list really unless you want proper Jap coupe i.e FTO, Skyline or 200SX.

HTH
