Hi all

my first post....and a few questions if you don't mind :)

I test drove the new mini cooper s (R56), and was blown away, so I'm going to get one via a lease.

1. The dealer suggested that in terms of handling to get the LSD not the DSC. But on the mini.com.au website, I can't see any reference for specifying an LSD....DSC yes, but not LSD...anyone? As an aside (or related!) the JCW reference suite seems to be with respect to the previous mini cooper s.

2. The quality and performance of the sunroof looked very impressive. Do owners with sunroofs in the more recent minis find any rattles associated with the sunroof over time? Rattles are my only concern, and if over time people have had issues, I'd really like to know to make an informed choice.

cheers
brett

LSD is listed in the Aust spec brochure under safety - $280

Talk to your dealer about options, be careful as they probably will talk you into something they already have in the country.
