Just got back from my first drive with my brand new MINI JCW and I have to say it's been a thrilling experience. The car is an absolute blast to drive, handling like a go-kart on steroids. The 230hp engine delivers exceptional power and the DSC system provides just enough support without interfering too much.
The driving dynamics are sublime, with razor-sharp steering response that makes you feel like you're glued to the road. Cornering is incredibly agile, making it a joy to carve through twisty roads.
One thing I do wish was improved is the ride quality - at times it can be a bit choppy and firm. But overall this has been one of my best car purchases ever and I'm so glad to have joined the MINI family.
