I'm Impressed!
 

My parents bought my sister a Minis "S" for graduation last week and she let me take it for a spin yesterday, wow was I pleasantly surprised.

I have owned several BMW's in the past and must say this thing drives and handles as nice as a 3 series coupe. The interior is much more exciting as well. I now know what people mean when they say "it feels like a go cart"

We have some new round abouts in our area and those are just a blast to take.

Job well done BMW!:)

Anyone here have the JCW? How does that compare to the "S"? They have one at the local BMW dealer for 43K, it has me thinking tis could be a great DD for me.

I have not personally driven a JCW car, but one of the members of the local Mini club has one. From what I understand, the extra $$ is well worth it. I love our '06 Cooper S, but the JCW has more engine/suspension/body mods that make it an even more aggressive car. I'm still impressed by our '06-S every time that my wife lets me drive it. :)

I have an 09 JCW, it's a fun car to drive. It's good to drive inside or outside towns as DD, but driving long distance would be painful.

I have a JCW.. Love it.. It is an S... So I guess it's just more power.. I like the supercharger better so I got an '05/'06...

Oh and I had a yellow lab that REALLY loved it..
