Hi guys. New to this forum but I am lucky enough to work at BMW UK and had the opportunity to take the new Cooper out last week. Despite being initially disappointed by how similar it looked, this soon disappeared once I got inside. The build quality feels a lot better than the outgoing model, and boy does it grip in the corners. Torque lower down the range is impressive, although top end is a little disappointing (I guess thats what the Cooper S and JCW editions are for!)

Have to say that you definitely will not be disappointed with this car. It definitely has the "feel" of quality as the BMW influence has permeated the manufacture, but is still very much a MINI.

Also, the JCW F1 is a brilliant car, anyone on this forum manage to get one?
