2026 Mini Cooper S
Discussion
Hi all
The wife has previously had a few Minis, Cooper S, Cooper SD but annoyingly decided to get an Evoque about 3 years ago. Anyway, the day has thankfully come when the Evoque is going, the extended warranty is £120 per month, the service from JLR is woeful and we can't take the risk of running it without a warranty.
She wants to get back into a Mini so we've been and had a look and a drive of some brand new ones this afternoon.
Has anyone got the latest Cooper S and have any opinions on them?
Many thanks

Cooper s convertible yes. It feels very grown up. With some nice features and fairly easy to turn off the some of the safety systems. But drives well and goes very well.
That's what she's after, we drove one yesterday and it seemed to go pretty well, 201 bhp. I think it's the same engine that's in the BMW M135i, albeit with much lower power. Foolishly I didn't know about the boost function and forgot to try it in gokart mode or whatever it's called now.
