My wifes R50 Mini Cooper wipes the floor with my A1 S/back . The steering just doesnt load up at all , the car just keeps going round . The ride is also better than my A1 on sport susp. and that is because she is on sensible 175mm tyres . Also her traction control is a million times better . Mine wheelspins like mad , then the TC decides its gonna do something and kicks in , by which time I've got embarressed and lifted off , only to be nearly hit up the back by a Transit van. TC is the worst thing on the car , and no the dealer says it correct for DSG .
Still like the A1 though , although the new 2014 Mini is interesting with the new engines !!!
