    Yes. I still think that bumper is horrendous

    Honestly, it looks fine when you actually see it. The Cooper looks the best to me, perhaps I am only saying that ss it is the car I am most likely to buy.

    Sat in the new Cooper at Crossflags Dumfries. Really like the interior and the boot space ( hidden floor a good idea). I'm still not won over by the front end but overall I like it.

    Very nice interior , but thought the Cooper S front end was far too busy and cluttered looking, the orange colour which I did not like did not help. I was more taken by a paceman they had in stock, pity you could not get new interior in that.

    Having sat in the F56 Cooper yesterday it sure is a nice place to be. The seats are just awesome & the quality/soft touch interior finish is top notch. Okay I'm old fashioned & like the speedo to be in the middle of the dash but hey ho I'm willing to concede. I'm also impressed with the new power outputs / economy gains, who wouldn't. A sub 8 second sprint to 60 in a Cooper along with £30 road tax has to be applauded.

    However ........ (we knew this was gonna happen) it is gonna take me a wee while yet to get over the front face & rear lights. To get so much of the interior & drivetrain so right only to be let down by the looks it's the same with recent BMW cars, I'm just not hooking onto the styles.

    I will however persevere
