Just wondering if anyone out there has put a deposit down on the diesel MINI - believe its being launched around May.

England deposit down

Yes I admit it...we have had £500 (a monkey) down on one for a couple of months, the dealer will refund it if we don't like the drive/spec etc... as they themselves don't know anything other than it's got a yaris 1.4 lump...
but those out there who slag off diesels obviously have not driven modern ones...I have a Volvo V70 diesel.. abig car
you put the right foot down and once the turbo kicks in...it goes...top end around 120 mph...and the 15 gallon tank has lasted up to 700 miles on several occations with a full load and 80 mph (ish)...so we thought we would see what the mini D is like and maybe trade in the cooper if it still looked as cool...and failing that leave the deposit there and go for the rag top in 2004....but thats another story
regards Jimbo

Press launch event is in May, expect the car to be released around July is my guess.
