The Mini Cooper S is as close to a Porsche as I'll get for quite some time. It really is an amazing drive - almost like a kart and just as much fun. Take it on twisty roads and it just shines. The supercharged engine is something else too, especially in a world of full of turbo charged engines - reminds me of a Merlin or DB.
Roscoroo - I have free servicing for a couple of more years on the car. I guess they have to make their money somehow.
