Yes, but those are both grp17 cars. I am a realist, not a dreamer.

Anyways, can't wait to take delivery

Not bad, handle well but too slow. Anything but the Cooper S Works is too slow.

cooper- group 8
cooper s- group 16

"Anything but the Cooper S Works is too slow."...................................

considering im 21 and have only ever driven 1.2's im perfectly happy with having a cooper for a couple of years, selling it on at a small loss and then getting something quicker.

I was going to get a Mini One instead of my new Corsa. I wanted to get it looking nice, 17's and a few extras but the car would have cost over 12k to be how i wanted it, and it would still be a Mini One.

So i'm waiting a year or so then i might consider a Cooper.

you can buy a mini one with all the extra & then chip it to have the same power as the cooper & still wok out cheaper than buying a cooper outright, was on Top Gear

i still think they are a bit hairdresser esque

i though about a one, but the options cost more and like you say by the time its a decent spec you're into cooper money. average price of a cooper is 14k. when i was in on saturday a woman was picking on up.......17k!!!!!!!!!

Think a lot of people have been taken for a ride tbh paying 17k for a cooper bla bla Can get a lot of car for that sort of money these days, 2nd hand market is cheap too so bargin cars under a year old so I'd never buy new again

I thpught I'd never again buy new, but with the Mini, the pretty much exact spec that I wanted was on the forecourt, 20k on the clock for what I am paying new. People just don't want the wait and demand is incredibly high. I have never been to a showroom with so many people in!
