Mini Cooper or Cooper S?
Discussion
Hi all,
I'm thinking of a new car and am seriously considering a Mini Cooper or Cooper S. I've had an original Cooper before (pic below) and although they bear no relation, I do fancy a newer MINI.
It'll be used daily for my commute to work, back roads and urban all the way, about 40/45 mile round trip. For this reason, a good balance of economy and performance is essential - so in real world terms, what sort of mpg can I expect from a Cooper and Cooper S respectively? Of course, the Cooper being IG 8 vs the S' 15 is also a factor...
Secondly, what options and option packs are desireable/essential? Most seem to have the Chilli Pack but as I understand it there's also Salt & Pepper packs, though i'm not sure what these include. Anything else I should look out for?
Finally, and this is important - will I fit my golf clubs anywhere in the bloody thing?! No, seriously - how easy is it to de-chrome a MINI 'cos they look much better with the black grills (and aero kits) from a male point of view! Bit soft and girly all chromed up and rounded off IMO!
Any other advice, please send it this way!
Thanks
