| Auto Motor und Sport first drive
Their Portugal first drive is out in issue 7 20.03.02 and is very positive about performance, gearchange and handling (Handling and adherance in a class of its own). The title: Cheap sportscar or expensive small car? It is very critical of the fake aluminium dash and concludes (loosely translated):
The Mini Cooper S costs EUR 19'800, not much for a prettily packaged 163 PS and addictive sport suspension. However a lot of money for a small car with plastic interior trim. |
