You can have the rev counter display the speed

My driving intructor had to do it, as too many of her students found it distracting

You mean the itty-bitty temp gauge at the bottom of the rev counter? :bang:

yes, the digital bit

you go through the trip computer menu to get it to display it

My point was you can still barely see it :bang:

And the doors unlock when you turn the engine off - handy for people who hang around car parks looking to nick women's handbags

Not the best design in the world ever.

i did 2 driving lessons in one. a diesel one.

i hated it. steering, clutch and gearbox way to heavy to learn in. and the speedo is REALLY distracting.

stupid driving position too imo

I thought it as okay, i didnt mind having the small digital speedo, but I dunno how anyone drives using the standard one!

I did most of my learning in it, but then I advanced to a BMW 119D

Revs and gears once I got used to it!

Speaking of the steering and gears, a tad heavier than the Brava but much,much lighter than the Bismarck, I can see why the girlies like them

the one series?

dunno about the 1.6, but I still remember the day when he told me to hammer it around a roundabout and up a road, to "get used to the power of the car"

Hes a great bloke, understood me well, which is always nice with your instructor

He now teaches in a 3series convertible, madman

60s ones yes, theyre classics, anything older are overpriced outdated, badly cramped rusty pieces of *car*

I just dont like them, just looking at the prices makes me laugh

The old minis are awesome, and for the new ones, they aren't so mini are they?

Not mine but.....
