New Mini 5 Door

[lotus116tornado]

Does anyone have any details on the New Mini 5 Door Hatchback

[mike9009]

Are you talking about the Countryman or is this another new model?

I am talking about the New Mini in your link but with 5 doors and a longer wheelbase, I believe the car is due at the end of this year.

I did not realise the clubman was getting replaced. This may well be an option for me! Thanks for the heads up......

Some good info in those links and a few pictures. I am guessing the 5 door Mini Hatchback opposed to the 6 door Clubman will be available for delivery September/October.

I ordered our/wifes car a couple of months back now and have been told it is being built the first couple of weeks in October, should see it by the end of October then hopefully.

Here is the specification.

Looks like a good conversion to 5-door but I really don't like the rear lights. Is that going to be the same on all the 2015 models?

[lotus116tornado]

The new F56(3 Door) and F55(5 Door) both have these lights I believe. Personally I think they are too big.

Might see you at Peacock Farm for the TVR meet, I shall be in my Spyder, weather permitting.

It'll be good to see you. It's a good venue and always a good turnout.

Hi - we've also got a new 5-door on order for my Wife, spec now 'locked down' with BW39 confirmed (22/09), but delivery is 'on hold' until launch date.
Ours will be the very first one to be delivered from our dealer on launch day:

- Cooper 1.5 petrol, 5-door
- Pepper white with black contrast roof and mirrors
- Pepper pack
- LED lights
- Visual boost radio
- Chrome line interior and exterior
- Privacy glass
- 16" loop alloys
- Firework interior surfaces
- Mini TLC

Thought about 17" wheels, but 16" more cost effective and still look fine. We've been restrained I think with the overall spec.

Exciting times, hope we like it!

Also ordered a 5 door petrol cooper -

Blaze red with black roof and stripes
Diamond cloth/leather sport seats
Silver downtubes
colour line - glowing red
visual boost radio
darkened rear glass
clear indicators
john cooper works steering wheel
mini driving modes
Electronic Dampers

Sticking with the standard 15's for winter and hopeflly put something nicer on for the summer

Hi there! I ordered my f55 back in July and have been told by the dealer that it is expected to be delivered on 15th October. My dealer has told me that I can't collect it until 27th!? Have you been told you can collect on 25th?

Yes we are collecting on the launch day, October 25th. We are making a weekend of it, going to Alton Towers on the Friday, staying in Stafford Friday night and then collecting the car from Wolverhampton the following morning.

Drive back to Berkshire in the afternoon and then to Legoland for the fireworks. A double celebration as it's our sons birthday and the new Mini of course!

Wow it sounds like you are going to have an amazing weekend!!! I'm really pleased to hear you've been told you can collect on launch day. I've been told I can't, so I'm def going to push for this now. Also, my car arrived at the dealers yesterday! Can't wait to see it x

[Gregewazix]

I've had a call from my dealer to say that my 5 door should be with them on the 24th Oct

Met Red Cooper with Chilli, black spoke wheels, stripes, Leather sports seats, chrome exterior, panoramic sunroof, heated windscreen and some other bits, can't wait!

Do you guys mind sharing what sort of discount you got off a 5 door?
I ordered a new 5 door about 3 weeks ago for my daughters 17th for January delivery.
The best I could get was about 2.5% !!

We got 4% about four months ago, though this is no longer available. We have also seen the new car on the road and had a good look around a few from the outside
