How's turbocharged compare to supercharged?
Twin scroll turbo has virtually no lag, and LOTS of low end torque. Also has "overboost" which temporarily kicks up the torque from ~178 to like 192 ft.lbs. The supercharger had to be "spun up" to higher rpm's for full effect.

Turbo has equal or greater power + 20% better gas mileage than SC! Get the manual! The auto while extremely smooth, has a nagging lag off the line which I hated. The purists get the manual, it's a buttery smooth Getrag unit.

Ask your lady what she likes. I have owned manual MCS and that was part of reason I had to sell as I was travelling in rush hour traffic and it become a pain with the manual.

I may be getting back in the game.

She like to drive manual but since she did a test drive on turbo with auto shift,She don't wanna go back to manual.She's driving M3 1999 manual for 7 years.

Looks like you got some good info....all I'll add is this, make sure you get a Cooper S and drive it like you stole it. This was one of the best car purchases I've ever made........Phil
