The drive is not like no other because it is FWD. FWD is horrid for a performance oriented car and rips any of the fun out of off the line launches or accelerating out of corner exits out of driving. Not to mention guaranteed understeer.
FWD=satan.
If you want a performance car, don't touch it. Ever. FWD does absolutely nothing better than RWD or AWD except for compensate for people's lack of driving ability and give better fuel economy.
That said, the mini did a great job of squeezing a lot out of a front engine, front drive platform.
