Yeah I completely agree with the fact that MINIs aren't so "MINI" anymore. The styling isn't so bad, but they're so freaking big nowadays. I still own an '05 Cooper S hardtop with some modifications and I'm really glad that I decided to keep it, because the first generation (R53) in my opinion, was MINI in it's true form. A friend of mine has an '09 Cooper S hardtop and it's nowhere near as responsive, and you can feel the weight, the newest ones even more so. That's why they came out with a 2015 John Cooper Works hardtop with 230hp, but yet has the same performance figures as my 2005 hardtop with 200hp
It's sad.
