Cooper S is a great little car though, i love em. So tunable also.
Rotary isn't loud, its just distinctive. RX8 sounds like i'd expect. BUt looks wise, RX8 wins hands down for me 
no offence damio but you have got no proof that this would happen

the cooper S is slower than a Punto GT, VTS, 106GTi to 100mph

Yesh, but the Cooper S will not fall apart whilst you are driving  Also, it will stick with the 106 and VTS round the twisties whilst the GT will be way back off in the distance, probably in rusty pieces

no it Mini will. the mini has shocking build quality and the engine is about as old as the GT one
what rust. it's not the uno or a nova you twat. if your going to argue with me at least get your facts right.

The Mini had poor build quality on its first run. Its now rock solid. Please don't even hint that you shitty little Punto is better than a Cooper, as it blatently isn't.

the mini is a very gay car. it is very overpriced and the inside very disapointing. there is no space in the rear for adults, very little boot space and the seats have poor lumber adjusment, the engine is crap etc etc.

Does every thread on this board have to turn into a sodding argument lo.l....
Vibrio- Saying things like the mini is gay, very overpriced and has a dissapointing interior makes you sound like you dont know what your talking about- you clearly do...cant you critisize something without making these sweeping generalisations.

my opinion is based on experience. the mini is a gay car like the mx5 mgf etc. I can say it is over price because it is and I can say the the interior is not nice because I have been in one driving. therefore I suggest you STFU as your clearing talking out your arse

"The mini is a gay car"
What the hell does that mean- how old are you- honestly you do talk some shite.
How exactly is a cooper s like a mx5?
What other hot hatches are you judging its interior against?

I agree with the vibs meister here. The old mini's are classic, new mini's are just BMW's attempt to supply a 'trendy car for the Hair dresser masses' - You ever seen salon? they're all gay - point settled.

Im sorry but the main type of person i see driving cooper s- are middle aged men.
I apologise- I buy cars based on ones i like the design of, enjoy driving and that hold their value......It seems like i should be judging cars on the type of people who buy them
What a load of bollocks.

no, you can judge cars however you like... me and vibs were only pointing out it was a gay car.
Smart imo is also a gay car. (the original smart)
Lots of women drive new style mini's, lots of gay hairdressers and 'middle aged men' that are thinking they're cool, because they own a Mini - even though its not a mini, its a BMW.
It is a fact.

Where as a corsa is a real 'mans' car.
At the end of the day i like the car and thats what really matters- I would certainly rather be associated with the average mini- driver, than the average modified corsa driver.
No offence to most people on this site, but i can drive past my local mcdonalds and see wankers with their corsas every night of the week

Your entitled to your opinion- I certainly dont agree with it though. You would do yourself a favour if you actually specified what you dont like about things- instead of just labeling things crap or gay.

I think most people understand what I mean when I say the car is gay.
I did tell you what I did not like about the car as above. I could not be arsed writting every little niggle I found with the car or indeed the sales service we got
