I really want something with 4 doors (well, 5 if you count the hatch as a door). MINI finally offers a 4 door model that's not the strangely-hulked-up Countryman model, but there's not a whole lot of cargo room there, still. The Fit has surprising amounts of cargo room, and I figure a Fit with a set of roof racks will handle at least 95% what I've used the truck for, so that means I can get rid of the truck as well over the summer. Also, repairs in the Honda ecosystem are a whole lot less pricey than repairs in the greater BMW ecosystem.

It's not as pretty, and it's not as sporty, but it is also notably cheaper - the Fit in trim I'm getting (EX-L) has a list price that's the same as the absolute base model of the 4 door hardtop MINI.
