Newbie here and also just got an R56. Coincidence though really as I'm on my 3rd Mini.
First one was a red/black model. It was amazing - it had those electric windows that wound themselves down overnight and the doors unlocked themselves ! ! Still loved it and probably still my favourite colour combo.
Then went on to a facelift Cooper. The facelift Mini is my favourite. The problems of the original had been ironed out (windows stayed up ! ) and IMO it is the best looking Mini - chrome line exterior is much more discreet etc. This one was in solid gold / black - Not everyone's cup of tea but I'm a Wolves fan ! !
Now on a BRG / white R56. The R56 is the most "grown up" Mini IMO and I'm still a fan |
