Love at first sight? Perhaps but love it sure is once you drive it
What’s Cool
* Just look at it, or don’t, most people will anyway
* 0-100 and beyond, the acceleration is surreal for a 4-pot
* Super sharp handling, you can drive up and down a valley all day
* Makes you feel special, somehow, that MINI magic isn’t lost
What’s Not So Cool
* Drinks but that’s expected, maybe a hybrid system will help
* The least practical MINI
* Price… price… price… when will they ‘Make in India’ (not CKD but manufacture)
Alternatives: MINI Cooper S (non JCW)
