Got tired of my daily driver ('96 Toyota 4Runner). So I bit the bullet and placed an order two weeks ago for an '06 Mini Cooper S. Should be a really fun car to drive every day. Most of you probably won't care :P , but I thought I'd share anyways. The one I ordered looks exactly like this, but minus the driving lights.

 

I'm sorry.... j/k. Congrats

 

I really like those cars.. But everytime I see one, I cannot help but think of Mr. Bean.

 

did you get the JCW package?? (my girl has a 04 cooper s I LOVE TO DRIVE IT) I know a guy that makes a great intake for it and its cheap (you will actually be able to hear the supercharger, and its total removable to go back to stock)

 

GOOD BUY!! I used to work for BMW and Mini and i LOVED driving the coopers. They are just a blast...low weight, enough power(well the S's) to get around...and talk about HANDLING!!!

I know a family that bought a Cooper S..and they liked it so much the husband bought the Cooper S Works Kit just 2 weeks later.

 

Me and the missus just did the same.
We ordered an '06 Mini Cooper S with the semi-automatic trans.

Should arrive in a couple of weeks.

 

LoL . didnt think you guys would give such a positive response. The car is a total blast to drive. My father has an '05 with the auto trans. I opted to get the 6spd manual, with the LSD, sports package, premium package, cold weather package, chrono kit, etc. Basically almost everything available minus the leather interior. I cant wait to get the car, which they say will be at the end of November. Auto X should be a hoot .....

 

Auto trans = tiptronic?

 

auto = 6 spd tip tronic cvt tranny with f1 style paddle shifters ..
