Good Points
FANTASTIC MACHINE !!!!

Bad Points
Some minor rattles, squeeks. Fender trim moves around a bit. Head light bug. But it is man made, and every car has a flaw here and there.

General Comments
Mini Cooper S:
I've never really owned a car that was worth dedicating words to;

but growing up on the lesser side of a wealthy family, and being a risk taker,

could not resist sneaking one of my uncles babies out when not a creature

was stirring. Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari; if but only for 3 hours at a time,

I have tasted ..driving joy.



My personal string of mundane machines never touched me like uncle's

toys. Then I bought a MCS. Now, I won't kid you, and exotic it is not,

I can however, say with some stolen authority, it is the closest the man of average means

can/should get. I lack the energy at 3:19am to elaborate, but the MCS is a solid

machine, at, well, a reasonable price. Sure, every car has a few issues, as

will everything man creates; but in a year of ownership, the strengths of the

MINI outweigh its idiosyncrasies 500 to 1. If the cars characteristics fit

into your life .Definitely, BUY ONE!!
