This next year, I will be in the market for a new Mini. Getting rid of my 2007 Mazda MX-5, Miata. Hated the seats, and getting into and out of it since new. So, I'm a high performance guy, but am really wondering if the JCW is really worth the extra $3K. I'm also a guy that can't leave anything alone, so a Mini S would have after market exhaust, intake, tubes and anything else to increase power and economy. The way that I would option out a Mini S would be in the $28K range, while keeping the options to a minimum a JCW woult be $31K. Is the stock turbo motor strong enough, internally to accept 210+ hp or so? Same for the transmission, any problems?
So, my question is back to, is the JCW worth the 3k? Any out there that had a Mini S 2nd Generation, and then got the JCW and were displeased? What were, are your thoughts? Thanks.http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...ilies/roll.gif
Only 3000 dollars more? Go for the JCW. To duplicate all the JCW stuff on a regular S would cost way more than that and that doesn't even count the time and effort you'd have to put in organizing it all.
Either way you go have fun with the new car.
