I like it! A lot! I got the 6-speed manual, though.

He's really moving. Hits over 160kph. I ordered manual too. No one has driven a manual S. None of the S's in Puerto Rico were manual....wonder why? Hasn't made one yet?

6-Speed auto tranny here with paddles on steering wheel. :thumbsup:

I will say manual tranny cars are Fun to drive as I have a great many of them over the years.

Now with traffic being what it is where I live I'll take the New Auto Tranny.

Put it in Sport and nail the Go-Pedal :thumbsup:

I sure do like that video and the Awesome Sound the MCS produces.

No manual S's at the CA launch event either....

It's because they have done it in the past with prior vehicle launch events and they end up with lots of S's with fried clutches :nod:

People are less likely to try and drive the non-S hard, so they still have a handful of those

So....dual mass flywheel...I somehow doubt it they had so many problems with the R56's clutches..

I'm impressed that the engine sound is so great but that the wind noise is down significantly. Assuming the stereo is good, this is going to be one very enjoyable MINI from an auditory perspective. I wonder if the base Cooper will sound as good...

Thanks for posting this!

Just bumping this up so more can hear it....

Good bump! Fun hearing it again. :)
