Glad you like it better than a standard slush box and that MINI is making something for the "non-manual crowd".

But like you I knew what I wanted in a car .......and that was a 6 speed and a clutch. To each their own I guess.

Spy, friend, you will continue to get a lot of flak from us "CVT" fans until you get your behind inside a Cooper CVT and give a *detailed* test drive report.

You drove a (gasp!) Saturn CVT but you won't be caught dead on a Cooper CVT?

Reagrding my '04 MCS, yep it is coming this week and I am really excited about it. Nothing like having an open mind when it comes to these cars...a CVT and a MCS in my driveway! Very lucky guy indeed!.
