Before owning a MINI I would have agreed with you. "Real sports cars are RWD" used to me my motto.
Then I went to the local MINI dealership to drive an S and see what the hubub was about. I ended up putting a $5K deposit down and ordering one on the spot.
Then I upgraded to a JCW kit. Then I added a SPAX coil over suspension adjustable shox and rear swaybar. Then a threw on a set of lightweight 16" Kosai K-1 rims and Falken Azenis tires.....
Then I pushed a C-5 around a road course in it and realized.... wow!! you can have fun in a FWD car... actually I realized that on the test drive the rest was just gravy.
I sold it to buy my 911 but I miss it every day. I wish I could have figured out a way to own both.
