vs Cooper

Has any Cooper owner had a chance for a comparison drive regarding handling? I have only taken a Clubman for a 15 min. test drive and would say the Cooper handles better.


Thanks
SF

Must be Cooper Clubman vs MCS Clubman? It is possible that the Cooper Clubman you drove handled more to your liking than another, but based on what I can tell so much depends on the suspension, wheel, tire combo, it's hard to say. Personally, I like the overall balance of a Cooper in relation to power/handling/braking, but that's my thing. Perhaps it is yours, too???
