Cooper with chilli pack i'd say, ideally a facelifted model that way your avoiding *most* of the niggles. There'll be loads of them making their way onto the used forecourts due to the new mini being released so youll have plenty of choice to choose from. Best bet would be a mini from a user of this site as they are all well looked after and given plenty of TLC
Go for a Coop , the 'drivers' car :approve:
Where's the fun goin fast in a straight line :question::question:
Coop's are better on the twisties ...... Amen

I'd say the Coop produces 115bhp (& on MINI2 there was a tread that quoted a line from a BMW insider that it was more like 120quote:Originally posted by duncan
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 'facelift' 'S' pumps out 170bhp

I'll give you the cooper one, but I put the S "started" at 163 as the original incarnation didquote:Originally posted by crombers

If you're not overly concerned with speed, you might change you're mind with a ONE compared your current gti, however, all is not lost.
If you decide on a ONE more for looks etc, then a simple remap will bring you up to Cooper power, the suspension is easily changed, you hinted at lowering, so, again no need to go for a Cooper straight away.
It all depends on how much money you have and how far you wanna go
Welcome to teh site by the way

Nice Lupo!
One of our ol' members got himself one when he sold his Cooper. ..And he sold his wheels to me
Why bother with a Cooper when you can make aOne look just as good?
Nice lupo gti you have. i used to have one before i got the mini. Go for a cooper and put lots of toys on it. will feel a bit slower than the gti at first but when ur mini is run in there wont be a noticeable difference. Plus then handling on the mini is 1000% better then on the lupo
