The Cooper I test drove sucked. It drove like any other car you might drive. And this is coming from someone who had driven a 1989 s-10 pick-up for five years. But I still bought a Cooper, #1 because I needed a new vehicle desperately and #2 because I figured the test drive Cooper was probably run in like my grandma would run a car in. I think I was right, because my Cooper rocks, and I've run it in in an appropriate (4499 RPM
) fashion!
