On the plus side, the voice recognition for the Bluetooth works well. |

That's a new feature on the '08s.
Those aren't.

hey Plaz, in case you missed this blog, it's pretty balanced.
http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/c...007MiniCooperS just other things to add to your thought process. i esp appreciated the comparison to the R32.

yes, not as huge as the R53 but you can definitely tell the difference in better power delivery and better throttle response.

If so it explains a lot though. No wonder the lemm-ster's been throwing that Edmunds article around so stoicly. If the R32 had punked the MCS I'm sure suddenly the Edmunds writer would be a non-driving nematode and a douche bag. |
