| Guys, I got a MCSa by mistake as mine was originally a manual. Had my MCSa now only for 3 weeks and must admit, todate i'm impressed. Whilst I always wanted a manual mini and the 6spd was interesting, the 6spd steptronic gives you the best of both worlds. I dont like the "D" mode, as even downshifting the mini wants to get into 5th too soon, which is good for consumption but bad for power. The "SD" I drive continuously and it never gets boring even in traffic in fact its real fun. So far I have averaged 9.4kms/100litres [Aussie standard], but on freeway/highway in 5th it cruises at 6.5kms/100litres which is excellent. So I only drive in "SD" now. Given my past experience with larger Aussie performance cars, I got bored constantly changing, this MCSa I will not. So real glad so far in getting $8500 discount from dealer due to their error in my favour. Regarding the JCW kit, which I considered. Having 17" wheels already, I had Eibachs installed to compliment the look and feel. The only thing thereafter is to potentially fit exhaust/extractors and maybe a pulley, which should satisfy my needs versus fitting a JCW kit and a lot cheaper.  |

| yes... i think i've read about ur case somewhere b4.... i agree with u..... i fall in love with steptronic since i drove them.... won't get in details again why... anyway.... true.... a lot of aftermarket tuning will be quicker n better.... but only if u don't want the tlc. but having said that... i have a feeling a lot of ppl might just do that as the jcw kit for mcsa seem like an endless wait now!!!  |
