I went from a Cooper to an S, and it is the best thing i ever did, the S was the one i wanted from the start, and when i got it, it didn't let me down and was everything and more that i was hoping for.

Hi,

Im upgrading to a Cooper S on saturday. I started with the Cooper and enjoyed it. Never test drove the Cooper S. Then I drove my friends Cooper S, and was like wow. This is a completely different Car. So I decided to upgrade. I cant wait.

Im going from a British Racing Green to a Chili Red with White Roof and leather!

The gains by upgrading to an S outweigh the losses.

You will notice a difference in the way the two cars drive. Do NOT expect the MCS to be like a Cooper but with more power. It's a different kettle of fish and needs to be driven in a different manner

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime
