I'm also thinking that a mild remap will unleash even more powr and make it just as good(if not better) than a standard MCS.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

The economics won't add up KM. Doopers are better for high milage drivers to recoup the £1100+ extra in Diesel savings because of the MPG. If you are getting rid in 12 months then a Cooper or Cooper S will give you a better return and you have more choice on the used market making the savings even more attractive.

What do you think?
