Drove the Mini in a race around the Nordschleife. Only place where I could use 4th gear was at Schwedenkreuz downhill, not even at the long back straight. Car is fun, looks really nice (steering wheel is a bit modern to my likes)...
Many years ago a friend of mini had a Mini Cooper S (probably not the same as this model - I don't remember exactly), but that thing was fast ! This feels really slow. Though I see 148 km/h in the description, I reached 163,7 km/h (slipstreaming).
Another thing I noticed is that FFB (on kerbs e.g.) is rather minimal, though the wheel feels quite right.
