New Mini Cooper Graphite

Not to mention that they drive uniquely. Consumers buy cars which are enjoyable to drive and the Mini Cooper is more enjoyable to drive than your average 1.6 hatchback.

I reckon most of the people who drive them around these parts (Essex) don't give a **** about how it drives. I've seen some truly hideous examples including pink with pink wheels.

I've said before I bet they are a hoot to drive and I think the specs of the CS and the JCW is fantastic. I just absolutley hate the looks and the fact it isn't mini at all, it's massive.
 
163/170/172 and then on up to 210bhp+ for works. All depends what you buy and what registration it is.

It hasn't anoyed me you have a grey Cooper :)
 
Apparently they're only doing a limited run of these Mini Cooper Graphite editions. Can anyone here care to speculate whether these cars will hold their value more so or less than the standard Cooper. Obviously it's slightly more expensive to buy than the Cooper but the value of the extra options as standard more than covers the cost - (metallic paint, upgrade to bridge spoke alloys, white indicator lenses, piano black interior, chilli pack upgrade is £500 cheaper)

Dark silver is an exclusive Cooper S colour and a desirable colour choice. It's also a signature element of the Cooper S. It's similar to them bringing out a special edition Mini One with a bonnet scoop and twin exhausts. A lot of housewives buy (sorry, that's get bought by hubby ;)) the Cooper S purely because it has more road presence and it's a more striking vehicle.

Funny thing is i was in bavarian bmw the other day and asked about the dinnerplate speedo, the assistant stated that they were like that in the original mini's. Im pretty sure they weren't myself, anyone any idea about that?

I believe they were like that in the orignal mini interior:

But they did become more normal after time. My dashboard is similar to this:

Haha, yes, the Mini Cooper is an enjoyable drive. However, I do protest about the initial comment, few buyers of a Mini Cooper go into the showroom wanting to buy the car because of its dynamics. The majority want it because of how it looks and the premium nature of the vehicle.
