How different will the styling be compared to the S?

Are there really gonna be 2 stages of Cooper as suggested? (i.e Cooper and Cooper sport as well as the S?)

Whats the stats on the engines in comparison to the new and current S?

Do I stick with a Cooper or go for the S?

questions questions questions

I guess time will tell

We got details etc. for the Cooper (almost all published now), but no photos. No official photos of the Cooper due for a little while (or of the S with the tape off).

How come paul? Alot of the mules seemed complete?
I noticed they had the 207 GT in the motor show with the turbo engine, so i assume its ready in the cooper too?

Paul · Jul 27th, 2006, 12:10 AM

The Cooper doesn't have a turbo. I guess they just wanted to let us play with the "best" of the range, to get the best reaction, especially from those senior writers who probably spent a lot of time in much larger, more powerful vehicles.

Very true, though i thought they were releasing:

Mini One - Standard Engine
Mini Cooper - Standard Engine
Mini Cooper Turbo - Single turbo/sport
Mini Cooper S
Mini Cooper S JCW

I think i heard the whole turbo cooper off unoffiical websites so im assuming it was all talk?

Ill go read press releases again

Paul · Jul 27th, 2006, 12:17 AM

It was all talk, never looked like happening. It would make no sense in terms of branding to have two engine versions of the same model in the line, would dilute both the Cooper and S brands that way. Of course, a Diesel One and Cooper would be perfectly possible (and likely).

Ah thanks for the clearing that up

Now im off 2 bed at last, and go get some rest paul or you will be dreaming mini's as well!!

Thre press release has an conversion error. The torque for the Cooper engine is listed as 160nm/188ftlb. I'm assuming that the 160nm is correct, thus it should be 118ftlb.

Edit: this error occurs near the top of the article, near the bottom of the article torque was mentioned again, but this time it was converted correctly.

when does the traveler come thats the one for me the 56 is to similar to 53 anyway still to make the first payment to my 06 copper

minisoopercooper · Jul 27th, 2006, 02:13 PM

I guess I just wanted more in fo on both - I know we got the BHP figures but I really wanted the 0-60 and MPG ones too

TAmini · Aug 22nd, 2006, 09:28 PM

To go for the new MC or the MCS that's the hard question at the mo. I've had my Electric Blue Cooper 18 mths now, its fab, I love it except for the numerous rattles. Got my name down for a new one but can't decide which to go for, do I stick with the Cooper and get more mpg or get some fun from the S for £3k extra with options added. I've not driven an S so cannot compare driving experience. Has anyone driven both types? What advice can you give? I love the laser blue colour,but I shouldn't be swayed by just that surely, I can't.

Are there any signs of option costs out yet?
