Other cars in the same class had it as standard - for example the Fiesta ST or the Polo GTI, I just didn't like the cabin or the ride quality on the Fiesta compared to the MINI. And the Polo felt totally bland.
The Fiesta and Polo are so heavy now they need independant rear suspension like the MINI has.
