Do you like it? I'm thinking about looking at some Cooper S's. Just curious on what some people's experiences have been with them. I've never so much as sat in one.

I secretly love it. It's an '05 with the supercharger. Has a few mods and it's a rocket.

Don't buy a turbo model, the supercharger is sooo much better.

Definitely get one with the chrono package (puts the speedo where it's supposed to be, gives you oil temp and pressure gauges as well).

Road-tripped it out to Green Bay in early January for the Packer playoff game and it just ate up the miles like nothing.

Good to know. I was on the fence on whether to go with the supercharged or turbocharged.

And definitely will be looking for something that gets rid of that outrageous speedo.

What were you doing in GB? I used to live across the street from Lambeau.

The Chrono package puts the speedo and the tach behind the steering wheel. So much better imho.

That is definitely a drastic improvement.

Nice! Those tickets are hard to come by.

What's wrong with the turbo model? Driven properly, they run like a charm!

Also the new ones have a small LCD screen on the tach that can display a bunch of different parameters including the speed. By far the best gauge layout is the r55/56 generation with nav.

Nothing. It's a great engine. The supercharged engine is just a better fit for the car. It's a point and shoot engine, compared to the the turbo engine which is point, pedal to the floor, wait, shoot.

Both are great, supercharger is just marginally better. I wouldn't turn down a turbo model, but we actively sought out a supercharged car for a reason.

[Eric]

Yeah, I can see that.

The MINI had a tiny bit more turbo lag than the 2.0T in our mk5 GTi... which had virtually zero lag! We did find that clicking on the sport mode for every day driving was better, even my wife in the passenger seat would notice if I forgot to put it on, and click it for me. Tightened up the throttle and the electric power steering. I wish it came like that as default.
