Maybe it hasn't been neutered or something, I don't know, but this thing is on heat, all the time. And that's precisely why it's so much fun to drive. Ever heard that old saying, "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow"? Well it's definitely true, because you couldn't get anywhere near the limit in a Nissan GT-R or most of the Porsches on sale on a public road. The Mini gives you your money's worth every time, because the engine relishes being pushed into the red, the crunchy gearbox invites vicious shifts (second gear is a bit misplaced in the gate though), and the wonderfully balanced chassis involves you to the point of mental exhaustion. It's a fantastic front-wheel drive sports car, and I can definitely see theLee-Punisher family resemblance.
