The engine really loosens up after break-in. The car's suspension is very tight, so those that want to feel like they're floating on a cloud may I point you towards a 7-series. Let me ask you something: On gokarts is the ride cushy and bump-free? No. Do you feel connected to the road? Yes. Does driving one put a grin on your face? It darn should! This is a brand new from the ground up car. OF COURSE it's going to have a few issues in it's first production year, which I will gladly forgive. That's what a warranty is for. Note: my Cooper S has been very good to me.

Never have I driven a car as fun as the Cooper S. Once you get up to 2000 rpm, its like riding on a guided missle. People that say the ride is too harsh are probably just road haters, who should give it all up and take the bus.
Could it be cuter?

I just got it and liking it so far. Steering is very responsive, the shifting is smooth and logical, the heat seems to work well and overall it handles nicely. The design is clever and funky, with some very intelligent and well-thought out touches. It lags somewhat going up hills. The rear window is extremely small. Rear passengers have no control over windows...theirs is fixed, and yours determines how much air they get. With limited space I think they did a good job with the small things, but overall I would like to see future model years (I have a 2004) add a little heft so I don't feel like I'll crush it if I look at it wrong.

I waited 9 months for delivery of my 2003 Cooper S and it was well worth the wait. The performance of the car is awesome, acceleration, handling and braking are all that was expected and then some. The jury is still out if the ride is going to be too harsh. After two weeks, I'm still adjusting to the firmness, I realize it adds to the handling
