Just thinking out loud here not looked at any stats or anything. It does it differently but it seems to sit between the Cooper and S also its price range puts it there too.

It's a good point - the mid-range performance is certainly much better than the standard Cooper (despite only 110 bhp) thanks to the torque, I expect. But a diesel isn't to everyone's tastes, and since my next car will be another Cabrio - I'm not yet sure the audio or olfactory experience of the Cooper D is a good match with open top motoring!
