    Five years ago we posted a review that helped define our opinion for years to come. It was our first long-term review of the R56. And we thought, what better place to spend that week with a new car than on the dragon. And what better way to find out about the soul of MINI. [...]

    :cornut: Nice review but of course I'm an R56 owner and have never driven an R53 and many of those people would beg to differ. Three R53 owners immediately come to mind,Nathan, Dave O. and Kittymini. There are others but memory fails me. I agree with all that he said and love Margi(08 R56 MCS/JCWm) but again, I've never driven an R53. It was very kind of him to not mention the 07-08 R56 growing pains. Now I'm waiting for the R53 crowd to show up and rip his article to shreds(maybe).:Thumbsup:
