Gabe over at MotoringFile was kind enough to host a review/comparison I did of our 2004 R50 and the new 2007 R56 MCS.

Yes, it's Cooper vs Cooper S, I know it's not "fair", but I thought y'all might like to see if you haven't already.

 

Good review I especially liked the photos which really illustrated your points.

 

Also CVT vs. 6-speed manual, another "not fair" aspect. It's a good review, and a good read though. Well done, and thanks!

I hope that more reviews come out like this, especially with more direct apples vs. apples comparisons.

 

Very nice...yes the pics are very helpful. When are you getting those driving lights installed???

 

Wow a Very Detailed Review Great Job!! makes me want mine even more

 

I liked that, objective without being one-sided. I especially like the noise test with a decibels meter. I find it a positive aspect that the R56 S is about as quite as an earlier naturally-aspirated model.

 

The toyota camry is real quiet to...

 

So is a Bentley Turbo R.
