I was asking the same questions when deciding to buy mine, and you know what it comes down to 1 thing for me...I know that if I was thinking about it it was because I knew that if I bought a Copper I would be seeing Copper S' going past me and I would think "nooooo ! if only I had bought one..."
I jumped straight into buying a Copper S and never looked back, great mpg if you drive sensibly, and if you want to play, it plays GOOD !
Good luck on your decision either way

Has nothing to do with man up, cooked ovaries or anything else that ruffles feathers. 1. Do you generally sit in stop and go traffic? 2. Do you like to leave from the stop light first? 3. Do you like to surprise muscle cars? 4. Do you like to go fast? 5. Do you do a lot of freeway driving (merging)? 6. Do you live near any twisty streets or roads? Either car will fit questions 1 and 6. If you answer yes to questions 2 - 5 get the S!

mini 2011s white pepper convertible top love the paddles and the sport knob
hit that and the steering tightens and adulterated responds very QuickTime
it will actually jump at start up. if you don't want to be noticed don't let the top down

you will never see a mini at a psychiatric office

I have a cooper 2003 and while they are nice on the local roads it would be nice to have a bit more bhp.

Yeah that was our logic too, the S would have been more fun and sounded a lot nicer but as I have a 60ish mile daily commute (each way) the running costs made a big difference in the end, and the regular Cooper is still perky enough to be good fun without going mental

I just took delivery of my Cooper S and I have not been disappointed. It's the perfect car for inner city traffic and small roads.

i recently brought a 2nd gen. cooper and the "S" didnt even enter my head at the time... after driving this and the fun the cooper brings me... i wish i had gone for the S for that extra BHP and funess!!! however saying that im sure i would also be crying at the amount i fuel i would be putting into it each time.!

for tax, reliablity, and fuel go for the cooper! x
