Just drove 1.6 Mini Cooper s!

I dont think the sporty ones look too bad outside but the fisher price dash and interior are
ugly beyond belief!

Wonder how many Mini owners know it was designed by Rover?

I'm not sure about fisherprice dash the interior of our 2012 cooper d is much better designed and built than the current offerings from fiat, on of the main reasons we didn't go for another fiat.

It is very well known that the 2001 mini was a rover conceived car, however the current model (2007 on) hatchbacks are surprisingly different to the 2001 car
And very much BMW influenced

I know they are very well made, just the design looks like a toddler toy.

Id rather have the cooper s d or whatever and tune that, but all the cooper s's ive met have been slower than my lump
