Got my wife a "new to us" '07 silver MCS for her birthday and she is absolutely loving the car! She calls me up out of the blue to say how fun it is. Due to a recent injury to my leg I haven't driven it yet and I won't be able to drive for another few weeks; it is killing me not to be able to take it for a spin and shift the gears. Oh well, patience will pay off I am sure...

 

your better off not driving it, if you do you will end up stealing it from her. i have found the mcs to be as addictive as a drug habit. great gas mileage, go-cart like handling, great on the highway, did i say go-cart like handling? you guys have fun with it, and you have been warned, don't drive it.

 

+1 On what greenr56 said. Fair Warning! IF you drive it you will immediately realize (like I did) that every other car you've driven handles like "an overloaded dump truck" in comparison.. I see fights for the car keys and semi intentional "Leaving for Work early", and running to the ______ for _____ just so you can drive the car in your future, you can not "Un-Ring the Bell"...

 

My wife is in the same position. She was in an accident that totaled our second car. So we replaced it with a mini. However she won't be able to drive it for atleast two months, which means its all mine

 

Go cart style handling
Can't wait to get mine lowered a tad within the next couple weeks.
A little suspension work and wow. It's nuts.

 

You guys are cracking me up....my Husband won't drive my MINI 'cause he's knows how much S*** will hit the F** if anything happens to her!!
