They always beg to carpool with me instead of all of us slipping into their 4 door sedans, it's a mystery to me.
So if your family consists of 4 or less, without car seats, i'd GO FOR the regular hatchback!
Sounds like your friends/coworkers are getting the MINI fever as well!

That or they figure you get way better millage than they do so they are being cheap on gas

I forgot and left my sunroof in the Vent mode (Just the back edge up) and it rained hard but not windy and only a few drops on the seat. the Sunroof must have some form of concealed gutter.I learned a lesson but not as bad as sian421. Ouch sorry, glad to hear Insurance did what was right.

Yes, it has a gutter all the way around and a drain tube at each corner.

Full tilt won't work for parking as a rain can blow in if the wind/driven rain blows toward the front.

A slight tilt (without lower edge exposed) will still vent a parked MINI and no rain will get in.
