Bought a new Mini S in 09 but traded it in on the 135 within a year because I couldnt stand the tq steer and general handling characteristics. Your list of owned cars seem very FWD heavy.
The 135 handles OK for my DD, it makes me happy in that purpose. I own another RWD sports car for serious work.
Of course 'narrow' wheel base means width. Thought everyone knows that. Im glad we're both happy with our 1's.
Mix of FWD, RWD, AWD and mid engine cars. Not saying that there isn't better handling cars but it's just such a personal preference when it comes to cars that have limits higher than the average drivers skills. Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear wheels. Track is the width.
