point being, Andy criticised the interior for beinging toy town
you then put up a pic of the optional extra seats, which is the only thing making that interior standout
put a pic of a standard cooper S interior up

I was simply saying that i like the interior i have chosen in my car--which is the picture i posted
At the end of the day its down to opinions--the mini clearly hasnt been made to appeal to everyone, it has a very distinctive design both inside and out, i like it , you clearly dont............that doesnt however make it a bad car, or 'wank'.

The S looks good with the 210 bhp kits availabe cheaply.
Std, doesnt go that well as it should, cos its heavier. A 172 or Cup would slaughter it.
Only driven the One, goes like a 1.4 16v Astra and not brilliant for press on driving.
All models handle well, the Ones with skinny tyres being the exception.

Andy was probably on about the dash layout anyhow.

Cooper is very slow, S isn't rapid either considering its 160bhp and s/c'd. I think their overpriced imo and I'm not keen on the female image

I would definately recommend the Cup, I have bought one this week, and for the price the performance is amazing. For the cost of the Cooper you could easily afford a nicer car imo.
