Mellow Yellow with black roof and top ^-^. When I first saw the review on cnet, I just had to have it.

After owning my JCW 'S' for a month now I am surprised at how easy it is to drive very slowly. Sure, it goes like stink when I put my foot down but that's just down to you to have some restraint. The car doesn't feel like it is pushing you or struggling to go slowly at all. So, just take your time, gain experience of the car, and driving in general, and maybe some advanced driver training would be of help but it's a great car - just treat it with the respect it deserves.

BTW, Mellow Yellow is a great choice - but I'm biased....
