Just what we need. A bunch of real estate agents ripping around getting sideways at every opportunity, rotating on its axis at roundabouts, and continuing to rotate through the hedges on the other side.

If only Darwin was so lucky...

As opposed to pretend or fake estate agents?

It's good to hear but sad how far our hopes and dreams have fallen since the release of the first generation Cooper S cars.

That was not a limited run special edition but just a regular mass produced model that handled with the kind of uncompromised dedication to handling feel that you are discussing in this article.

I suspect even that driven back to back the standard early Cooper S would be the more satisfying drive of the two.

Plus it isn't the size of a people carrier.

As nobody outside of a few journos have driven the car, it's pretty tough to know which is the more satisfying drive. I did like the original BMW MINI Cooper S. Lovely car with that supercharger whine too. It was also hideously expensive with a few choice options, so not much has changed there! New car is big but even the first gen BMW MINI is a supertanker compared to the original!
