It's new? Are you sure? But it doesn't look new. Then again, MINI hasn't really come up with an original design since the 'new' Cooper debuted in 2001. And even then one could argue it was just a modern interpretation of the classic shape.

  • i hope they NEVER change the interior. i love the toggle switches.

  • If the Suspension wasn't stiff, it wouldn't handle like a MINI. That's what this car is all about. It would be no fun at all with a soft, sloppy supsension. It's a tight, crisp handling car. Period. And the only way to achieve that is a little bit of stifness in the suspension. And aobut the "Ergonomics," my 2002 Cooper S has the most comfortable seats ever in it! And the controls really arent that hard to use, they just take a day or two to get used to. I love my MINI. Period

  • @JeromeClauss its white metallic silver with pure white roof.

  • @MrSimpleme1 2011

  • @LtFluffelz omg yes, I'm 6'2 and i driver a cooper s and there is more than enough room.

  • @LtFluffelz I should imagine so considering im your height and i fit in the smaller r53 with room left to move the chair back.

  • The reason you buy a mini is for the handling and the supercharger noise, unfortunately people buying the newer turbo versions aren't really getting either. Sure the handling is similar but its not anything like the r53 cooper s and jcw r53. The only thing i can think of that i dislike about my 2003 jcw mini is the flimsy indicators and the interior noise under the dash. This is excluding the fact the standard cooper s brakes wear pads down stupidly fast and usually unevenly.

  • which is the color of the mini cooper? is pepper white or white silver ????? .... So nice!!!

  • @Rallybrothers I know the mini is just so damn fun to drive i love mine too

  • MY dream is to buy one...

  • @LtFluffelz .... Yes, I got you beat by 1"

  • So what you're saying is that you want the Mini Cooper to be more like a Golf GTI...

    There's an easy solution to this and people are doing this. Those who want the GTI buy the GTI. Those who want the Mini buy the Mini. Problem solved.
