Yup it was a base Cooper. I realise the super/turbocharger in the S will give a massive performance boost over the 1.6L, but would the S package and/or JCW modifications make a difference for the better? The only things I can envision being changed for the better would be the seats and possibly the trim. It could also tighten up the steering and improve braking.
As well, any sports package will firm up the ride, but as it is already pretty rough I can only imagine what it would be like with a sports package.
Not having driven a Cooper S or any of the JCW models I can't really comment on them. But if we're talking about the higher end models, I would still rather take a Golf GTi or R32. My neighbour has the R32 and it sounds fantastic!
But anyway, it's just my opinion. Don't let me put anyone off it. Take one for a test drive and make up your own mind.
