Other than the heavy runflats, the car gets a rave review. Here's an excerpt:

'Although $25,000 for a MINI might be tough to swallow,
just try and find a car for that price that could keep up
with a Works Cooper S on a twistry road or deliver as much
fun to the driver.'

You can find the review in Grassroots Motorsports at newstands now.

Thanks DC!
