everything on it?
December 27th, 2005We’ve written at length about our experience with the JCW kit for the Mini Cooper S.
Today we came across this excerpt on MotoringFile:
some of the car’s charm is sadly lost in the process. While the base model is almost too easy to chuck around on its 16-inch tires, the Works model needs more lock to change direction and consequently feels like a larger and less wieldy machine. Nor does the chassis communicate with as much accuracy as the base model, leaving the driver a bit more removed from the driving experience. Sure, the JCW Cooper S is undoubtedly a quicker and more capable MINI, but we’re not sure it’s any more fun to drive. source: Bimmer
We continue to feel the engine kit adds to the car’s charm while wheels larger than 16” in size detract from it…
