Well not brand new, but 2014ish. What do I need to know? Petrol as Mrs FB only does about 10 miles a day, and manual.

One seems to be a 1.2, is this a 3 cylinder? Cooper is a 1.5 so 4 cylinder? What's the score with the packs? Any issues to watch out for? Is a Cooper worth the extra over a One?

Looking at spending around £10k or so which looks to be a 2015ish car. We need the slightly gawky looking 5 door as there doesn't seem to be any room in the 3 door for the kids unless we remove their legs.

I've got a 3 year old and a 7 year old, so still in car seats for a while yet

I think the Clubman looks better than the 5 door Mini, I just don't want to spend more than £10k if I can help it smile

We're borrowing one for 24 hours next week. It's not a car that excites me but hopefully Mrs FB likes it, it's like a busmans holiday for me being in the trade!
