Go with the Subaru. They ride nice, get decent fuel economy, have good resale, perform well and have a "stealth" factor.
The Mini is cramped even in the front seats. Hard to get in and out of if you're tall. The ride is not forgiving over anything with less than perfect pavement. You can't get much in them either, even with the hatchback. There are also way more Subaru dealers (at least around here) than Mini dealers should a warranty issue raise it's head on one of your travels.
I have a close friend that has a BRG w/White roof one. He's had it about a year and is already tired of it. This is a tall, thin adult, and he bought it as a reward to himself. He hardly ever drives it anymore, and in fact, uses his pick-up to go everywhere because it rides so much nicer. He has stated that my Wrangler rides better!
A Mini would make a great second car, but I'd never get one as the ONLY car. The same can be said of the Wrangler BTW.
