Talking Picked up my MCS yesterday! GET ONE!

First off I want to say thank you to all the cool members here at NAM! You guys are awesome and helpful!

I didn't see a whole lot of praise for the CMS's performance on here. I did see lots of negative comments about different aspects of thr CMS's. So to even the score, let me me tell you about my experience with my CMS...but you gotta remember, I'm not a seasoned car enthusiasts...yet!

This car feels insanely fast to me! Now, I know that this car is not, but relative to my old 90hp Jetta, it is! Its perfectl! I love the size of the inside and out. All the features are great! So much little knick knacks to sweeten thr experience. This car will throw your head back, it will get up and pull at most any speed.

The cars handling can be scary to someone who hasn't had a car like this...it like a roller coaster! It feels like a sturdy car, it feels big, but handles small!

The looks are sweet! Its a cross between classy and sporty!

Can't wait to talk to and meet more MINI owners! Hope to be browsing these forums more and more! Have a good day guys!

I agree with you. I went from an '03 civic ex coupe (virtually no torque) to the CM ALL4S with sport suspension this time last year. It's such a HUGE improvement! It's nice to corner without feeling like your car is going to slide out from under you.

To be fair, I did ditch the stock wheels and run-flat tires for light weight sport tuning wheels, and Eagle GT tires (so sad they changed the tread now). That change made a big difference in the handling, compared to how it drove off the lot. Much better grip, feels lighter and nimbler; and any shop can fix them for cheap if needed. Doing that also took off somewhere around 35lbs from the weight! I love my CM!
