Question What to spend my money on

I am now ready (financially) to join the MINI owning community but what should I spend the money on
1) a ONE with lots of extras - leather, MFSW, sports seats, alloys, SALT pack, chrome exterior, air con or
2) a COOPER with PEPPER, sports seats, air con (and ASC+T)
I will probably add my own headunit and a Pipercross filter on whichever.
Any advice - please!

It depends on what you want I suppose. If you want creature comforts, get the ONE. If you want a little bit more speed, go for the COOPER. ONE would be cheaper to insure (esp as your planning to modify it)...

Test drive both!

Not a useful post I know

Cheers Dom. Being a youngster(!) insurance is about the same for both. I am swayed more toward the COOPER at the moment.

I took the ONE for a test drive, and ordered a COOPER a few days later when I found out I could afford it!

Get a MINI ONE Its cheaper to insure, you can have a huge spec & a well equiped ONE could be the same price as a basic Cooper




Dont go for Red/White if you get a Cooper, too common
