Elise to Cooper works gp
Discussion
I have gone from a vx220 to a Cooper S.
So a 'similar' swap. The mini is fun but nowhere near the same involvement as the vx220. I still miss the vx, so that probably tells you something despite several changes since. Probably a case of rose tinted specs, because the build quality comfort, safety, working heaters, are far superior. If you are after a more usable everyday proposition the mini is great fun, and requires a totally different driving style to extract some reward to the vx experience.
What is the main driver for the change?

If you calculate the fun factor mathematically the Works GP might well turn out to be just as much fun as the Elise. If you aren't using the Elise then it's not giving much fun sitting in a locked garage whereas the WGP might be less outright fun to drive but could supply that fun any day regardless of the weather so would probably get used a lot more often
