My Take: The MF for all Mini’s is pretty much the same across the board, which is a good thing. It’s probably not the lowest MF, but it isn’t as ridiculous as GMAC’s. Strong residual values make this car a very attractive lease. These cars may be priced reasonably, but when you start tacking on the options, it gets expensive very quickly.
