[ssimms]

I actually bought my Cooper with the intention of just fulfilling my MINI craving until the convertible came out. However, after nearly 11 mos. with it, I like the coupe so much with the sunroof that I may not make the change. I also thought I would order the convertible in the S version. Again 11mos. with this car, I haven't really felt a need for the S. I enjoy 115 horses to their maximum, but, I don't think I would be any happier with an S. Yes, it would be nice but, I don't know of any S's that will deliver 40+ MPG on the way home from autoxing. And I am having as much fun as I could have autoxing this one, so, I am re-evaluating my plans for an S convertible at this time. Unless, I can convince the wife to take my Cooper and give up her daily transportation. Creating space in the garage for something else. But, I am quite happy with my Cooper 2dr. coupe w/sunroof for today.
