List of options includes cruise control, full leather, chrome pack, hid lights, panoramic roof, auto wipers, harmon kardon stereo etc plenty more, only thing it doesn't have is sat nav which isn't too hot anyway.

It's pretty spec'd then I'd well have one, and for the record i think your wheels look better than std 's' wheels

I think they look much better as well, in fact they suit it more. They don't take away from Mini look at all whoever said that 
Oh how i wish I could afford a new car I'm gonna be stuck with my 1.6 Artic Vectra for a few more years yet

I wouldn't swap back to a CTR, think the Mini is a far better motor personally. Feels quicker through the gears, handles better, looks better, built better. Only downside is that according to some your gay, rather than a bread boy so whatever floats your boat

That's a 'one' above though nik.
Does it really handle better than a ctr?!

Yeah just noticed that sorry my bad! I think it does yes. Seems to have more grip and feel anyway, weather or not it's actually 'quicker' around said corner is anyone's guess but i'd say it is. I did like the CTR handling though, just attack a corner like an animal and come out with 25% less thread

PMSl I know what you mean some cars feel quicker than they are around corners, i.e. the amount of roll vs the grip etc. I just remember reading reviews etc and the journo's saying mini was great car but not as focused as the ctr if your happy then who cares bet's it's just as quick tho if not quicker.

Yeah your right, I can see how it's classed as not as focused. I honestly think its quicker through the gears, the supercharger is constantly on the go when your gunning it, much better torque etc Am hoping to get a new car later in the year but can't afford it at the moment with the house etc - part of reason I sold Evo

Must be quicker than the CTR, its much smaller and it will deffo handle better than the CTR.

I'm not a fan of the CTR to be honest. Ugly rear and they're beginning to get quite common.
Would much prefer an S
