Not sure about UK, but this will be blindingly expensive here in Europe. Probably on the wrong side of 50k€.
Hmm....
Easily the same here once they’ve priced in the zero emissions fines… Hmm....
To be fair I think the die hards will pay it and if they don’t… it won’t be profitable and that’s that

That said, she preferred the 128ti to any of the MINIs, and even to the M135i.
I have a bit of a soft spot for the 128ti as well, and it looks a nice bit of kit to me. Mike1990 said:

Small? Little...? Have you seen any Mini produced in the last 10 years?
I have indeed. Even had the pleasure of scooting around in a R56 Cooper. Mini is just a brand name, nothing more, like MG now.
But yeah, they are little and small compared to its rivals.
I actually quite like that., and am not a lady (Whooopps). I certainly hope it's not larger than the existing model and in regard to price; I best not go there.
Should we begin to re-appreciate why the car was invented in the first place i.e. a means to get from A to B quicker than horse and carriage and/or similar

So if my priority is to get the best possible hot hatch for similar or less money while being new or almost new. Why, would I look at this bloated MINI? If ever there was a case for comparing new with used this be must it.
What new/almost new hot hatch is less 'bloated' for the same/lower cost?Julian Scott said:

No bonnet scoop post F56, yes unless you fitted a functional air intake it was just for show but differentiated the Cooper s and JCW from lesser models. The new one is visually bland. If it's auto only then no thanks. Personally prefer the R53 and R56 styling to later models. F56 has more vents and looks more aggressive but the proportions are not as appealing as the earlier models in my opinion.
Sums up my views on this model as well. I owned and loved an 05 Mini Cooper s and always liked the looks of the f56 model. Could just about tolerate the most recent version in a silly and bright colour, but this just leaves me cold. Erast Fandorin said:
