Hi there
I haven't got an MCS yet (we ordered ours a week ago), but I was interested in your 3rd question about the car pulling to the left...
We were lent a Cooper S overnight last week by our local MINI dealer, and it had 18" alloys on it, which looked fab. However after less than a minute of driving it my boyfriend was almost completely put off buying one because the car pulled badly to the left. If you let go of the steering wheel you would be up on the pavement. We put it down to the size of the wheels and so took the car back and they gave us one with 17s on and it was like a different car.
Having read stuff on here I've read that the handling is better with 16s, but I suppose that's another debate altogether
We still can't work out whether the car tracked badly because of the 18s, or whether somebody on a test drive has kerbed it. Or maybe even the tyre pressures were uneven and with them being runflats it's difficult to tell just by looking if one of the tyres is flatter than the others
