Well yeah.....

Sport mode is an interesting thing....at first I wasn't sure about it as my '03 was always in sport mode, but over time I have come to appreciate the feature and I drive w/ it engaged or not depending on very real driving conditions. It is cool.....although the idea of such a fancy pants feature on a Mini still is a wonderment. Then again, so is air conditioning.

I think gokart ride is referring to classic mini's that do NOT have AC.
Just a thought...

And congrats on your new Cooper. You will be VERY happy with it!!

Congratulations. I hope you have the same experience I've had so far. Excellent MPG, no problems, and a ton of fun! Welcome.

Oh, and I love your color choice.
