Mini Clubman Cooper driving impression

I had an opportunity to drive the newest Mini Clubman Cooper yesterday. Turbocharged 3 cylinder motor was well mounted with enough power and torque, also DSG trans-axle has been improved so much with no complaints.
As for steering reaction, too tight and movable in action, lacks so to speak stability, if change an expression good mobility, sporty. 70 mm extended wheel base contributes to stable pitching movement.
For ordinary driver it might be too much to use it as general use.
Also, too sensitive steering action might invite fatigue when relaxed driving is desired. On the other hand, as for my opinion, such kind of setting is favorable, Mini might change my life style into younger.
Anyway, much more precise checking in wheel alignment and in axle construction are necessary to conclude this point, because discrepancy in thrust angle cause unstable steering action similar with this kind of phenomena. This report continues.
