Ok picked up the Laser Blue S today.

150 miles travelled up home to Inverness.

Obviously was impressed with the MPG see other post. Not sure how much the V Power would effect the figures but not bad considering it's a brand new motor.

The design I'll leave alone it's been discused on other threads and as far as I can see it's all down to personal tastes no one person is right. or wrong.

The drive has improved 10 fold you just don't get long enough on a test drive to really appreciate by how much

I prefer the turbo version, power seems to be delivered smoother but again this one is all down to each individual some are going to love it some are going to miss the supercharger.

You can hear the exhaust but not at cruising speed which for me is a +

The sound system was good not brillant but better than I thought.

I found all controls easy to use.

Only one thing so far which has been a step backward is the access to the storage space in the door cards. you can't get you hand behind the door pull anymore which makes it very awkward to get at.

I could go into to a big what I think but your all going to make up your own minds some will love some will hate.

but I will say this.

When I was driving up the road past Blair Atholl I asked myself 1 question.

Was I still driving a MINI

the answer is YES take away all the design aspects the suspension gear box blah blah you still know your driving a MINI. Improved definately but still a MINI. Lets not forget that.
