Kyle Fortune took a test drive in the F56 in Puerto Rico and, in an article for
CompleteCar.ie gives the vehicle a 4 out of a possible 5. He summarizes his observations:
In every quantifiable way the new MINI Cooper S is better than its predecessor and has the measure of its supermini hot hatch rivals. Greater refinement, higher quality, more space (marginally) and maturity make it an even more accomplished all-rounder, yet still as fun as it ever was. The only issue is the standard MINI Cooper, which might lack the S's outright firepower, but is the sweeter driving package overall.
