How much "BMW-ness" does the Mini get? I test drove one and was suprised at how crappy the plastic was on all interior parts. The turn signal and wiper levers seemed especially chinsy, at least compared to my Honda or my fiancee's Toyota.

My wife has a Mini and, while it's not driven a lot, the plastics, which I'll admit look a little cheap, have held up very well. They still look brand new after a couple of years. The only problem I've had with anything along those lines is that it's a little easy to accidentally pull back the bright flash when setting the turn signal. But I've already adjusted to that and I don't drive it that much myself.
