re: the cooper review. I don't know what this writer expects or how he drives but I would question his ability after reading this. My Cooper has plenty of power. He complains of engine noise above 5000 rpm. I seem to hit 5000 only during really hard acelleration. The tach never spends much time in that region. Does this writer cruise around in low gear with the tach redlining all the time?
