I have a 172, my cousin has the cooper s. The mini will pull, slowly.
CX-7,westfield,ix20
One of my mates has one and I have a 182.
Him with one (light) passenger and me myself side by side at 60 odd...I pulled a few car lengths in a short space. His is still tighter than a nuns c?$t though.
I imagine once a few more miles on it and no passengers in each it would be pretty much tit for tat up to 110-120 but then the mini would start to open up a gap.

Not likely. From experience, good car, great engine, but (especially with runflats) just too stiff across the front, lots of wheelspin and washes into understeer if your clumsy.

In a straight line, nothing else at the same price will be quicker.

anyone got a link to the stats per chance? - goods cars IMO
ive driven three of the previous cooper s's and one of the latest, i found they struggle with corners if pushed. understeered like mad - although to be fair ive only driven them in winter.
acceleration was good, so were the brakes, but im not impressed with the car as a whole.
good motor for girls!

You know it!
New MCS is quick through the gears but looks pi$h, imo. To bubbly and round looking and I've never liked the chrome all over the place - the old one was nicer. The Clubman is just the biggest heap of $hit on the road. Rediculous car.

What is this, cooperS.net>?
Weeman sucks ****
if the previous model s is anything to go by on the new one they don't handle better imo. much more sketchy and twitchy at the back plus as they're specced up for image conscious females and homosexual men the 17/18" wheels do compromise handling.
my exgoodfornothings.hitcnut girlfriend has one. well put together, almost too well put together tbh and over engineered as it shows in the price tag.
imo, for starters not worth the money. secondly, i think the clio handles better. they pull roughly the same but do feel slightly different.
minis, i s.hit 'em

It's very different, pulls much harder than the old unit. They've done VW's trick, most are testing at 180-185bhp standard, then you've got the overboost pushing it to 200ish bhp.
Thats the worst looking 6r4 I've ever seen.now thats a wild claim!!
indeed!
Megane R26, R21 Turbo
dont know about a 172 but im pretty certain a 172 would out handle the mini cornering on roads or a track ppl assume everythings about straightline speed its combination of both straightline and cornering e.g a track and why do ppl think minis handle when they clearly dont? a trophy would batter one on the track or on road plus weve all seen the 197 out perform the mini cooper s works or whatever its called on fifth gear the mini couldnt even stay on the track 197 has a few more horses but nothing to make a big difference plus 197's are renaultsport whats "renaultsport" about having 6 gears high mpg on something thats designed to be a hot hatch thats just rubbish 182s are quicker than them anyway and 172cup/182cup/trophy really are what renaultsport is all about good everyday/trackday cars, fact is oldskool mini with an engine conversion would be cheaper and they handle so much better all for prob less than you can buy a cooper s for and dont say oh its too much work ive seen many good examples up for sale, id have a 172 cup or 182 over a 197 anyday and a real mini over the bmw cooper s anyday
