    From 1 January 2005, MINI will be available with a number of new options that further increase the opportunity for MINI owners to personalise their cars.

    For the first time, MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible will be offered with a six-speed automatic transmission that includes Steptronic mode and Steptronic paddles on the steering wheel as standard. Unlike the MINI One and MINI Cooper Continuously Variable Transmission system, this new automatic transmission has fixed gear rations which result in quicker gear changes and a dynamic driving experience tuned specifically to match the MINI Cooper S' sporty character.

    This new automatic transmission also features AGS (Adaptive Transmission Control). AGS allows the transmission to adapt in accordance with the driver's driving style. For example, the transmission will build the revs for longer before changing gear if it "knows" the driver enjoys driving to the car's limits. The automatic transmission is priced at £1,050.

    Paddles included it seems!

    Cheers!
