Q: which is better the original or the s type? is it a good car to have? is it good to drive in bad conditions? snow , rain, sleet

A: Both are good and quick. The Mini Cooper S is quicker. They are some of the best handling cars you can buy. They are FWD so they are good in rain and okay in snow. NO car is good in sleet. Reliability is average, but they are expensive to maintain and require premium gas.
