It depends on what you want. Did you say you drive a One or Cooper at the moment?
I used to be a girl that saw a car as a pretty thing that got me from A to B. However since driving a MINI all of that changed and I became hooked. I owned a Cooper for a year and have recently bought a
MCS as I quite fancied more power.
I have driven the R56 S and thought that was a good car very economical compared to the
MCS but decided to go for the
MCS as the whole driving experience seemed more 'fun'.
I can only suggest going for a long test drive in both and seeing which would suit your needs more...
Good luck!
