comfort access seems a bit pointless...besides, I'd always be paranoid the car wasn't locked.

Difficult question as there are sooooooooooo many!

I think would not choose the sunroof. Had a sunroof once and never used it, if anything it seemed to make the car hotter when you first get in.

Who needs Auto Air con in this country? Open the feckin window ffs! :D
a waste of fuel and power ;)

or PDC?? If you can't park a car that's Mini sized.. go and re- learn EVERYTHING then try and sit your test again. :mad: And don't park near me!

Or Sat Nav... that's just bloody lazy. buy a map. Learn how to read it and stop letting computers take over thinking for you! :p

Or anuto head lamps... if you can't detect they are dark then you shoudl not be driving...

Or auto wipers...if you can't detect it's raining you should not be driving.

....though I have both and would not be without them.....ooo..and have auto air con and love it !

Not in the slightest. I'd rather have the R50/3. I don't hate the new one. Just prefer the old one. Big difference.

Lets keep this on-topic.;) And not turn it into an R56 bashing contest.;)

Subject was what options you wouldn't tick on a MINI.

Err, with all respect, it is on topic.
I wouldnt tick the convertable option on the current convertable IF I COULD.

Err. Actually it was drifting into a bash-the-r56-I'd-rather-have-an-r50/3-thread, rather than discussing what was originally intended by the author; which OPTIONS would you NOT tick.

A.;)

Dont think so Andy. I still wouldn't tick the convertable roof if i could.

Another one I wouldn't pick is the wood trim option. Looks OK, but I think I would quickly tire of it.

I defo wouldn't have another R50 :p :D

How long do your front tyres last ;)

I actually think the R56 ASC&T does not interrupt too quickly - I leave mine on :o

Actually, I would put SatNav at the top of my list of options I would pick. I reckon its a godsend. The Smart has active routing i.e. it avoids traffic. Living in England with the roads as busy as they are it's brilliant.

As I'm now looking at an R56 (you heard it here first) I think the first option I wouldn't tick is the alloy wheels, you can get the same wheels for less than the option price an have a spare set for winter.

they last about 10k i find the tc kicks in far to early if you are giving it a good old punt it can put the car off balance:mad:
