Just to let you guys know the cooper S is not even in the United States yet there coming in June. At Knauz they only have the regular coopers my friend picked one up yesterday, so no S it was just a regular loaded one.

I just drove the regular cooper today. The car handles like a BMW. The only problem that I had was with the power..OH MY GOD it needs POWER!! Tomorrow I will test the cooper S to see the difference...

I havent driven the regular mini so i dont have that experience to compare the two. But i do have to say it did have pretty good acceleration for haveing 4 people in the car.

Hello john, and everyone else. i just want to say that i was in the car when 95///M3Black went for a spin, its frickin quick!! the exhaust note on the S sounds just as good if not better than my Dinan exhaust on my E36! its amazing, and no body roll whatsoever! its truly a BMW at heart, an ultimate driving machine! i highly recommend getting your sticky fingers on the first S u see, its worth it, and you'll be glad u did, trust us!
