thanks for repeating what has already been said. BTW all models have the wing vents, the Cooper has has chrome effect vents and an S badge on the vent.

yeh id agree with above, but only on the extent you def aint gonna consider the Cooper S. Depends what you want raelly, if u aint a speed freak then DEF get the mini, better built. If u r wait for the corsa.

THE point is that it isnt just the starting price of cooper s that is more expensive-

minicooper group 8 insurance as opposed to group 15 for the mcs

petrol is bloody near twice as expensive with the supercharger

i am getting cooper s alloys, suspension, interior, seats, colourcoding anf crome fittings- am also getting nearly every other extra on the list and is still 2k cheaper than cooper s

cooper s 163bhp cooper 115bhp

very cheap and very easy to get the cooper up and around 160-180 bhp- kits availiable for another £1.5k thatbtakes it to 212bhp
