I knew at the back of my head. I didn't think it would be a problem. Also, the other half of the story is that as fast as M3 is in the track, I don't find it rewarding to drive. Again, it doesn't mean it is a bad car, it is just not the car for me.

I think if you have a car with too much power, it becomes less ans less exciting to drive on the streets.

MCS as DD and Porsche for weekend/track car would be perfect imho if you could have 2 cars...M3 if almost perfect if you can only have one car...if I had a pure track car for weekends, I would have no need for the M3 as a DD.

We drove it about 2 hours non-stop, and toward the end, we were getting uncomfortable. It is not a road trip car anyways, I bought it for DD (I've a short commute) and autox.

Having said that, I absolutely love the Mini Cooper S!
EDIT: In terms of softness... you could've gotten a new suspension for that. |
I know it is weird, but I'm serious, we have insane amount of cops willing to write you a ticket for doing 10over... In terms of suspension, yes it would help, but still it is a big and heavy car. Yesterday, I parallel parked the mini, and I was 2 feet away from the curb because I was still thinking the M3
