Default Drove a new Mini Cooper S, Have some Questions:

Hey all, this past Tuesday my friend and I went out and test drove a new Mini Cooper S. He's in the market for a new car and we though it'd be fun to see what these little cars were all about.

We were really surprised with the car. It handles really well for a FWD car and with about 165 hp from the supercharger, it went pretty well too. The "Fun To Drive" factor with this car is pretty high in my opinion.

Anyway..when were done with our 1 hour test drive, the dealer told us about a company called Mini Madness that makes performance packages for these cars. Apparently a Stage 3 package costs about $6,000 and gives the car about 245 hp.

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with a mini with this sort of power and what it is like to drive. Would this package be worth it? Any comments or opinions are greatly welcome.

Here's the link to the Performance Package site so you can look for yourself:
