I have driven the S and the standard one. Big difference.
But even the standard mini was still on my top 10 list of sports cars.
You just have to work it a little more. In some ways its more fun to drive than my BoxsterS. The short wheel base make it a fast pivot, just like a go kart. The shifting reminded me of what I like about the miata. You can become a very good driver with this car.
Both the mini and mini S are excellent to drive imho, I'll take a mini over a standard Mustang or similar any day of the week.
and If you get the John Cooper Works package you won't need to mod a thing.


whatever you do, don't get the convertible. .
