Hi all,

I fancy a change of car and think a Mini would fit the bill nicely.

This would be our second car so it doesn't need to do too much apart from be fairly good fun to drive. I would have a budget of about 3k – 4k (4k would be absolute max. I have had a quick look in the classifieds and done a bit of reading online, there seems to be a huge range of cars available at this price range. Would this be a realistic price to get a decent Cooper S?

I have read a lot about pre v post facelift models, would I notice the difference between the two? Coming from a Focus I suspect they both might be a bit livelier to drive.
