Test drove a Cooper S today.

Was superb to drive, nicely weighted steering really easy to place it precisely on the road. So much grip as well. Plus I couldn't get enough of the supercharger spooling up.

Only thing was it didn't quite feel quick enough. I'd certainly have to get more power, but that's pretty easy to do.

So did you get one!?

Used to own one myself (not a Cooper S) miss it now and again but not really...

Nope.

Decided I couldn't cope with how many of them there are around, so I bought an Audi S3 instead.

+1!!

Three or four MINI owners at work, when they park up on or near full lock the power steering whine is like some sort of sonic torture device

Why is it so terrible? I remember someone I used to work with had one and she got rid of it 'cos it got on her nerves.

I don't doubt the Cooper S's abilities but it's too much of a pretty boys car
