Right now she has a sebring convertiable, and that drives like an unmenuveriable boat, so this would be a welcome change. If she hasent driven one by the next time I see her, I am dragging her own there to drive one. But that is a great review. I agree with the comment about the rims, the V-Stars would look alot better IMHO. I hope my 05 MC is geared as well as the MCSc has been discribed. PS Great site you have here Gabe.</p> I have been trying to get my mother to go test-drive a MCc or MCSc.

Sorry to hear that there has been more of that low class stuff going on.

My wife and I just went to Assael, here in LA area, and she drove a '05 MSC. What a difference in performance and build quality! She is edging towards the Yel/wht but I told her wait and see some of the other colors. They had 4 cars plus a MCc. So it's now down to the MCS, A4 or the new 320i. I'm trying to talk her into the TT, since we already have an MCS.

Not sure why MINIUSA made them the standard wheels on the MCSc. They're not bad but they're not what I'd call "sporty".</p> Actually those are the MCc wheels on the rest of the world.

They're not sporty enough for a Cooper S IMHO.<br /> Guess I'm too used to my S-Lites.</p> I love the car and the review.. but those rims don't do it for me.

And since I already thought that orange was a sad omission in the color lineup, I'm sad (and/or jealous) that the only way I could get either of what (to me) are the two coolest colors would be to get the convertible, which I've sort of decided against. I'd still rather spend that extra $4500 on the JCW upgrade. (vrooom!)</p> The more I see Cool Blue, the more I like it.

I'm thinking it would be a worthwhile upgrade.
