Condon complains:
A MINI is not designed this way, and the interior, while spacious for a small car, is still a small car's interior designed for plastic and basic metals, so rather than an expanse of wood and leather in the Goodwood MINI, you get a bit here, a touch there and a suggestion elsewhere. The tactile experience -- seats, steering wheel, floor mats -- is nice enough, no doubt, but it's nowhere near enough to register the actual quality of materials used on an overall, swaddled-in-comfort way that you'd expect with an actual Roller.
To call the Goodwood MINI a blatant cash grab is redundant -- of course it is. The real problem is that the car doesn't feel expensive, but rather "too expensive." The Black Diamond paint job is nice, though.
