Having purchased my wife a new Cooper S 5 door, I am very tempted in ordering a new JCW for myself.

Having not driven one yet (test drive in a couple of weeks) I just wondered what owners think of their cars. Some of initial questions I have:

1. What is the main difference between a cooper s and a JCW. Is the power difference noticeable and how does the handling compare?

2. What are peoples view of the driving position?

3. For me the car sits a bit high. Are there any factory approved springs to drop the height?

Test drove a Challenge 210 as the dealer was out of the full fat JCW.

Still allowed me to gauge how the car drives and I was impressed. The car is certainly set up better than the Cooper S, handling better and having more power. I also found that you sit a lot lower in the car. Maybe thats the seats which allow you to sit lower.

Just have to decide which colour to go for now.
