in my own experience, you have to work to breach 30k in an MX5, or WRX.

while you can easily break 30k in the MCS.

Well, I like my cars relatively spartan. Power lock, power windows, stereo and. . . I'm pretty much good. I'd hope one could get an MCS set up like that for not much.

i agree with you.

but they cost so damn much (some options) from MINI/BMW that i never opt for them.

Under $25,000 for a configured MCS. And that's MSRP. Not sure what you could spend an extra $5000 on.

A lot, apparently.

I suspect strongly that most MCS vehicles drive away on average closer to 30k.

That comment alone won me over.

I agree.

The main problem with the V6 Mustang and Camaro is the existence of the V8 Mustang and Camaro.
