• So its time to say goodbye to my V60, as lovely as a car its been (zero problems in 4 years) I need something a little smaller and easier to park.

    So I'm looking at the Mini Cooper S - something with not too high mileage that looks decent. I'll be using the car just for mainly city driving (when not cycling) this has come up on my eBay searches, its older than I planned but apart from that I see no reason to not take a look, what do you guys think?

    Initially not thinking of doing much in the way of work but I would like to have some done in time.

  • I have had 3 Coopers (not S) and personally I always prefer them with a sunroof as it makes the inside lighter and more spacious in a small car. Also the chrome mirrors are nasty (but easy enough to change).

    Hadn't considered the sunroof! Good shout.

    Yeah the wing mirrors are a minor point right now, more interested in the mileage.
