I have an opportunity to lease a new 2015 MCS at dealer invoice. I am a little "twitchy" about buying it because I have read quite a few posts on different sites about problems. This is a bare bones 6 speed manual S with the only options: heated seats, SiriusXM radio for a year, hood stripes, all weather mats and wheel locks. I am actually not interested in other options so....good deal? Jump on it tomorrow or not? You input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Crowdog

Thank you for your input sir. Drove the Mini as well as a VW GTI, Ford ST and a Honda Civic SI. Guess my real question is: is invoice price a good deal on a 2015 with the '16's out now?

Thanks to you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. I really liked the way the GTI drives but have a hard time with the generic look of the car. The SI looks a bit too "boy racer" and I do not care for the lack of low end grunt from the V-tec engine. (have had two V-tec's in the past) ST just felt, hmmmm...coarse. I was surprised how quiet the MCS is, especially on the highway and found the ride quality (even on run flats) much better than I expected. I also like the S's look and think the interior is first rate in the new F56. I believe my biggest problem with it may be keeping my right foot under control so I don't start "collecting" speeding tickets. It's pepper white with black roof, mirrors and hood stripes. Looks like I will be picking it up tomorrow. Thanks again.

The Mini is now sitting in my driveway. Thanks to all for your advise to an old guy who is rapidly sliding into his 3rd, maybe 4th, childhood.

Pepper white "S" with black top, mirrors and hood stripes.

Quick update after having the MCS for a month. I could write a long review of all that I like about the car but I will simply say that I like it even more each time I drive it. It has brought back the "fun factor" to driving for me. Am so glad I chose it over the other cars I considered.
