My wife bought one two weeks ago,
Cooper D 1.6t with a chilli pack,
Well built defo a BMW , best seats I’ve sat in for a long time and headrests that you can put your head on without having to look out the sunroof,
Masses of gadgets and plenty of switches to flick, huge amount of room in the front and plenty in the back,
I find the engine wanting of torque but it’s not breathless and pulls well but the 6 speed gearbox whizzes through the ratios,
I’m used to big engines so I wouldn’t say its a bad thing, just more modern.
We drove a hard bargain and got it for 21k with her long serving golf as a trade in at £700 .
Altogether a nice car but not cheap but at least it feels like it’s well engineered,
Things I found were missing,
A sensible fuel gauge.
Torques.
An engine temp gauge !!!! Can’t find it perhaps it’s hidden ??.
