Mrs Challo works for a lease company and therefore I can benefit and ask slightly cheaper leases. The old R53 Mini http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... was starting to need serious work so I cut my losses with WBAC and waited for my new car.

Its a 2016 F56 Mini Cooper with Pepper Pack Spec. I would have preferred the chilli pack, but I wanted a black car and auto and the options where limited. The pepper pack is still good with media, auto lights, auto wipers, air con etc.

Its the 1.5 petrol and suits the car perfectly. The auto box is very good and apparently quicker 0-60 than the manual version. Its quick as well, only slightly slower than my old standard R53 version.

For a small town car it certainly meets our needs and loads of fun to drive. Looking forward to taking it out at the weekend and trying down some twisties.
