I don't think the JCW seats are approved yet for Australia (I spoke to Gavin - head of Mini Australia at Driver training a few months ago), so just be careful. They are very expensive and create huge blind spots.

I drove the red MCSJCW which is the Mini Australia test car at my local dealer late last year. Being little, I found them quite comfy, but my partner who is quite tall and about 100kg found them crappppy to sit in let alone drive around in.

Hope this helps, as I am keen to see ho much they cost.

Cheers

Karen
