HI,

Very nice forum here. Lots of information here.
My wife wants a mini. She presently has a 2002 BMW 330I with 12K miles. She is thinking of trading it in on a 2005 Cooper S Automatic. She has to have the Automatic. She feels like the manual is too hard to drive around town. She has drove a Mini and she thinks it is a real fun vehicle but she worries she will not like it because the BMW is fine to drive and is great on trips. I am looking for some imput from you guys. Is there any probelms with the 2005 Cooper S automatics I should be aware of?? Is there any options I should not spend the money on?? I am definitely getting the premium package and thinking about the Sport package. Is there any problems areas in the drivetrain and suspension?? What is real world Miles per gallon in an Automatic Cooper S??
Any other input would be appreciated??

Thanks
Rob
