not a fan… but then again if you want to steal millions of dollars and drive them through a house, it might be something to consider (italian job reference) ---

> [@Hooked on 240](#): > > I’d take the supercharged mini only. there pretty quick. Hence the title of the thread ;D Coopers are great. Toss some money into them in the suspension/braking dept and they handle superb. Toss some money into the motor and they scoot quick. Even though they don’t make much power you have to remember they’re like a Lotus Elise. Give them 250whp and they’ll fly around any racecourse. I fit in them quite nicely(6’3"), only downside is lack of storage space but then again I wouldn’t be buying a mini as a family car to begin with. ---

They are very fun cars. The new Clubman is a great idea for those who want a little more practicality. Also don’t forget you get your choice of Turbo VS Supercharged and there is a **huge** fan following for these cars. Older S’s were Supercharged, new ones are Turbo. ---

I have driven the older Cooper S (supercharged) and the new Cooper S (Turbo) and I like the supercharged a ton better. They are great cars. I just had a problem with there size. Plenty of power and they handle like a go cart. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mini-cooper-s/236387.md?page=2)
