I know people who swapped their MINI for the A1 Sportback because they did not want the Countryman but they needed premium flexibility.
Since the F55 was unveiled they want to come back to MINI. And why not? You are getting BMW quality and premium engineering and technology instead of a re-bodied and glammed-up VW Polo for around and below the same price.
