Well..the Cooper is just as "good" as the "S". After all, it's whatever floats YOUR boat in the end...right? However the two models do not share the same suspension unless you upgrade the Cooper. The same goes for the wheels. And the interior has differences as well. The turbo GTI must have been eating a burger. Since all opinions are valid, I feel that the "S" makes the formerly "hot" looking Cooper a little less "hot".I Love the much more muscular, business-like look of the "S". Just my opinion though...no more valid than anybody's.

Well I can tell you that he wasn't eating a burger - I can verify that as I sped past him. He was also racing me too as he was zipping in and out of lanes to cath me up.

I also had the upgrade to SS+ and fat alloys !

I went for a test drive in the Turbo GTI before I bought the mini (same size engine) and it didn't perform for me.

...and before you come back with a smart alleck reply, I race frequently at Oulton park, so I know what I'm talking about !!

Also, when you refer to the interior of the cooper being different to the S then if you mean the '6' on the gear know, then your correct.

Lets face it - the S is just to comfort the boy racers who have small .....

long live the COOPER !!
