I had the opportunity to really drive the new JCW at the dealer's Motor-Tober event near us. Fantastic car! Only issue I have with the R56 models is that the seats are wider, and I'm not... but that can be fixed I suppose! Nice car!

Lol, for a fix you mean you can get wider to fit it? Will prob slow the car down some though

I dunno, there wasn't much slowing THAT car down! We had an impromptu autocross setup and were also able to drive it on the go-kart track. What a GREAT ride!

As for bulking up to fit, well, the cycling season IS winding down...

Don't hate me, but I voted for something else as the best 'Performance Car of the Year'
