My R53 is in for service and the dealer have loaned me an R56 Cooper for two days. When I saw "loaned", they charge an "admin fee" of £10 per day for the use of it

I know that comparisons have been done to death on here before, but does anyone else find the combination of smaller windows, that huge speedo/radio and bulkier dash board (I've measured it, it is bulkier; it's taller and reaches further back into the cabin) make the new car feel claustrophobic inside?

Is it just me?

Update: They didn't charge me for the use of the loaner after all, the car was returned in perfect condition, vacced out, with the outside left uncleaned just like I'd asked! Credit to Westerly Exeter!
