Both the Canadian magazine World of Wheels(sept) and Sports Car International(nov) compare the Cooper S with the Honda SiR,VW GTI and Ford SVT Focus . W of W places the Cooper 3rd and S.C I puts it as # 1 . All in the eye of the beholder . The Honda finished last in both mags and checking out the breaking distances you don't want to be in front of one

World of Wheels has no idea what they are talking about.....
They put the FOCUS in front of the MINI?!?! And the new GTi's are boring and played out.....with alot of body roll and even kind of a yawner in the speed department unless they are chipped.

Whoever rates for this mag is a total moron.
