I just test drove a mini ('04 non-S model) and although I like the style, etc. I was very disappointed in the power and acceleration. I'm currently driving a BMW 328i and have owned Porsches in the past, so that is what I'm comparing it to. So my question is, how much different are the Cooper-S or the Works models? Is the engine significantly better, etc? On a scale of 1-10, how much difference is the S model over the standard mini?
Thanks.
