On the other hand S12 is too stiff for Czech roads and Odložilík didn't like it. The Lancer is car used by Melichárek, so after two seasons of driving on Czech, Slovak and Polish roads they have very good experience with bumpy roads.
I'm quite happy with the Mini S2000. I saw it personally for the first time and also first time Mini on asphalt (so far only WRC on gravel). It doesn't look that slow with small restrictor and the suspension works really well.
