Boring question,

How practical is it?

I have a Cooper S and if you've seen the boot in one of those, you'll know why I'm asking. :-)

Hi,
I had an R56 JCW before this and i know what you mean , I find this really practical by comparison to that .

Seats go flat , and loads more room for the kids

And you can get more than 2 bags of shopping in! hehe

Why did you spec the auto dim mirror when you have privacy glass? Not knocking it or owt but I don't have any problems with mine (privacy glass)

Other than the roof spoiler it looks good, I've never been a fan of any add on spoiler that raises higher that the roof profile buy hey, its not my car, like the wheels, could be my next purchase.

Very nice, Had one as a loan car in that colour recently and to be honest I was really impressed with it, great character and was more roomy that i thought it would be.

It just really really looks like a 1950s American fridge!

If money wasn't an issue, i'd have a (non-clubman) S Works in my dream garage. Do like them. However, as an outright purchase with real money and depreciation and such... ouch.

Someone's got to buy new cars though!

Yes someone does have to by new cars, Otherwise there wouldn't be used cars rofl

But whether its new or used your always going to loose money.

Works Hatch was my last car and it was awesome just need more space .

I don't mean to be rude (really, I don't) but I can't see the MINI as anything more than a £16 - 17k car.

Your's is lovely but I think I'd spend thirty large on something else. Or two cars, like a 500 Abarth for dailies and a used Elise.

I think the OP works for MINI so not spent £30k from the back pocket.

Apols if I am incorrect, but profile seems to suggest this.
