Thanks , I havent really driven an S but when I had my JAC I wished it a manual S.......Is it really that much of a difference ?
Is it worth the extra 70 a month ?

The "S"

You drive a Justa with your foot.
You drive an S with your toes.

Definitely a lot more fun, every time the dealer gives me a loaner S I regret buying my MC. But I wouldn't really consider any current mini model "fast."

I ORDERED IT SHOULD BE ON MY DRIVEWAY TMRW !

I decided to get an auto because this specific MINI was a steal!
And I thought i would eventually get tired of stick in LA traffic....

I CANT WAIT ALREADY! How in the world do some of u order minis and wait months?!?!?!?!?


I have decided to drive stock for 24hrs

Of course the MCS is worth the extra bucks, unless you never drive over 30 MPH

I think on a lease car you will have to limit your mods to the type of fuel you put in it. Try splurging for 95-98 octane pump gas that California has so plentifully. Probably worth a few extra HP!
