    Congrats sounds like a nice MINI. I have an R53 & my wife has a Justaclubster sans turbo. I like the MINI NA engine. Like you said smooth & great gas mileage. In fact I like the Justa enough that if I buy an R56 it would most likely be one.

    Agreed. I've spent several thousand miles in a family members' R56 Hardtop S, and it is definitely a lot faster, especially from a low-end torque surge perspective, but I actually find the justa equally enjoyable to drive and love the simplicity and smooth power delivery of NA BMW inline motors.

    Congrats! My first MINI was a Justa r53. I love my current S, but wouldn't turn my back on another Justa in the future.
