Default First or Second Generation certified pre-owned?

Dear Mini Forum,

I am in the market for a cetified pre-owned Cooper MINI S. I know that they were redesigned from bottom up between 2006 and 2007. My question is whether the first generation MINI is that much "worse", or should I stick with buying a second generation. I understand they are slightly different looking and a couple inches longer but understand little about the differences under the hood.

Thank you!

Kelly

The First Gen S's use a Supercharger ,
Second Gen S's use a turbocharger ,
There are other minor differences ...
