I have an '06 Cooper. ITG air filter, MTH software, Milltek exhaust manifold with 200cell TUV cat, Milltek cat-back exhaust, O.Z Ultraleggera wheels, RE760 tyres, M7 strut brace. It's not a Cooper S but it'll spank any base Cooper easily. 27MPG around town, and it's PAID OFF. I love it.

Thanks pocket_rocket... sweet S you have there. Do you know I've still never driven an S, not the SC one or the turbo one. I don't want to drive one because then I'll want one...

whenever that may be (don't want to sell the RS for it).

Cooper S does not use the crappy auto transmission used in the lower models.

I had an '06 MCS. I sold it to make room for my '96 993. I loved the Mini, though. It was great to drive, reliable, and cheap to maintain. Fun to autocross. I wish I had the room to keep both! Oh well...

I bought a 2010 for my wife last year and I have to confess I really enjoy it. A lot of fun to drive.
