I guess it was my wrongly worded sentence which caused the confusion.
Probably BMW intended the Mini to behave as a RWD car...
The cruiser aspect is the main advantage of FWD, but cruising is not considered cool, so FWD tends to be discarded in certain circles.
(PS, from my choice of cars you will understand that I rate (comfy) cruising very highly)
