After waiting over 6 months for the my Clubman S and getting a lot of cr-p from my wife, the day after we went to the dealer's Clubman open house, my wife bought a MCS from stock. Yes I made sure that it was loaded. Since I have taken delivery of my "Hershey's Kiss" , my wife has been bugging me about letting her drive it. She drives over 100 miles a day to and from work.

Yesterday I let her drive it. Her route is suburban road, Pa turnpike and then country roads. She called me from work saying people were beeping at her and stopping her about the car. BUT most interesting is that she says that it drives a lot better than hers. I have performance 17" tires and she has all season 17" tires (both run flats of course), The real difference is the 3" of wheel base. It is much smoother and if need be able to carry real people and heavier loads. I love it!

It puts a smile on my face every day and always surprises me. I had the sport button on and after making a right turn from a stop sign I was enthusiastic in my acceleration. I have LSD but it started to pull to the right and when I shifted into 2nd, to my surprise there was a little "CHIRP". YEE HAW. What happened to responsible driving--I don't know, but it was fun.

 

Some cars ARE fun to drive.
You'll have fingerprints all over the window when you park it in public.
Use the hidden storage for a few towels and a spray bottle.
Get some micro rags to clean the wheels.
