Sport seats come standard on the MINI Cooper S Coupe and John Cooper Works Coupe variants, as do the color-contrasting roof and speed-sensitive steering.
Another distinguishing feature is the speed-sensitive power steering with rack-and-pinion steering gear: the power assistance is implemented electrohydraulically rather than just hydraulically.
The speed-sensitive electric power steering may be a bit lighter feeling than it is in some other sporty sedans or wagons, but it provides sufficient feedback to the driver through the wheel.
