Maybe thats just because I am 6' 4" and would look ridiculous in a mini  :grin:

whereas driving a mid-sized hatchback with parking sensors makes you cooler than cat's pyjamas.

my mate works for the local bmw dealership as a mechanic in the workshop and even he said the mini is a terrible car not just looks etc but the actual cars have so many common faults and warranty recalls etc, my missus was going to buy one last year and asked my mate for some advice and he told her to steer well clear so now she got a mk6 fiesta ST lol whats that say  :laugh: ford fiesta over a bmw mini oh plus the fact that the fiesta would trample all over the normal cooper and would be sniffing the arse of the cooper s version =bargain  :grin:

From my experience of mini's (cooper s) are fantastic cars!!

My x used to have one a fair few years back (02) and it was a brilliant car. Never missed a beat, great fun to drive (if a little firm), and have held their value very very well over the years... in fact I cant think of a car that has held their vaule as well. The only downside is small boot, nice looking but cheap plastic interiors, and silly speedo unless you get the sat nav. Apart from that I loved driving it.... Im not too familiar with figures but im sure the ST would struggle to keep up with the cooper s.


Would I get one???? hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhell no :grin:
