Mini as a beginner car

Hi dear mini driver , I find the mini sloppy enough , but now to the question you can drive as a beginner such a cult vehicle and should I rather take the 1000 or rather the 1300s ? and you find something sloppy up to 2000€? How is the consumption of the small and can one the motor tunen for little money ? And could you still call me the algemmeine driving performance , because I found nothing in the I-Net .
