05 S shifting question...

So I just got rid of my 03 base cooper with 170k for a 05 S with 60k.

Maybe I'm not used to it, but it seems that it holds rpms for longer than my base. It's not in sport mode either (auto trans). Not sure if that's normal. It doesn't concern me too much, but it caught my attention.

Also on very rare occasions, it seems to shift a little harder from 1st to 2nd under normal driving conditions. Shifts great if I get on it hard, but just a little harder like 1 time out of 10 under normal driving conditions. So it doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Other than that, it's in excellent condition. No other complaints. It's chili red with black 17" rims and tinted windows all the way around. I'm getting ready to drop my radio in (kenwood), my msd ignition, my front strut brace, and my ngk plug wires tomorrow probably. Gotta research some more items for it though. Cai is something I wanna do soon also.

Anyways, thanks for any advice guys!
