I think there crap at handling. Ive raced one in my 1.4 Corsa, kept up in corners easily, beat me on straight, but still not quick for a 2.0 hot hatch, and i know someone with an 07 plate, just under 10k on it, and its on its 3rd gearbox.

Pics up now I just like how the Bravo looked modern, for the time it was made. Small, narrow headlights, funky rear lights in a circle, sleek lines and what not.

Nothing wrong with the Cooper S - I've had one as a daily driver for the last 65,000 miles and I am still enjoying it. 5000 of those miles have been on track days too.
Easy to mod - swap the pulley, drop in filter and the 'one ball' mod and you are looking at 185hp - at the wheels.
Mine has been on some massive road trips - 2-3000 miles at a time and many 'fast desert runs' - ambient temps around 130F and speeds in tripple digits for mile after mile.......
Mine is lowered (15mm), sitting on coil-overs, running 17x7's wiht 205/40/17s, 15% pulley, 2% crank pulley, drop-in K&N, one-ball exhaust, brembo rotors, Hawk pads.

I saw a really good one earlier, and it sounded soo nice. Im sure people will agree it falls well into this catergory...

I think its ugly as sin, looks like a dodgy kit car, but theres something so cool about it.
