I signed up for the mini cooper s but the list was freakingly long.... my name was called but to busy eating to notice, by the time i checked, my name was rotated to the back of the list <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Got the 325i and the 116i to drive. 325i was so effortless, effortless acceleration, steering, everything! so much so until my daughter fell asleep in the back while i was whacking the car! a bit too effortless for my liking. The 116i was an eye opener. i'm expecting it to be an underpowerd crappy small car with cramped interior. After the drive, i found it to be underpowered still, but smooth, refined, spacious and most importantly it has a very honest handling. kind of like a grown up E30.  and active steering? cant be bothered with it. found the 325i a bit 'wandery' at high speeds and you have to conciously keep correcting the wheel. The 116i feels better, tracking straight and true with no concious effort on the wheel</blockquote>
