    Hi.

    The MINI has 3 (4 including the Diesel) models.

    The entry level is the One, followed by the Cooper, then the Cooper S.
    The Diesel is only on the One, and is a 1.4 Toyota engine.
    The others all have the same basic 1.6 engine, yet they produce quite a range of power.

    The One produces 90bhp, the Cooper 110, and the S started at 163bhp.

    The trim specs are quite different too.
    On the early models, you got a Salt pack on the One, which included options such as front fog lights, height adjustable seats, and other wee items.

    The Pepper and Chilli packs were available on the Cooper and Cooper S models, and included other options such as half leather seats, and suspension options.

    Most MINIs were spec'd with an options pack, and it tends to be a better thing to have for resale, rather than spec'ing individual items, and its cheaper too.

    Also, there was a face lift from the 54 plate onwards, with revised bumpers and interiors, a new gearbox on the One and Cooper, and more interior lights.

    Any other questions, just ask, as someone should be able to answer them!

    NIce Lupo, I used to have a Polo GTi.

    You'll probably find the Cooper a bit slower than your GTI, and the Cooper S quite a bit quicker. Only the Cooper S has the 6 speed gearbox if your used to having 6 gears.

    The best thing would be to go and test drive ,and compare with what you have ,looks like the cooper would be your best comparison , then try the S (big difference in power) if that's what your after .then look at what you can really afford
