tharg, they are fun thats for sure. ive just changed from the 3dr cooper 7 auto a special edition they did.
only had the 1.5 engine but still great fun.
i agree the stalks are a bit over complicated a lot of functions on each one and the 3 click indicator takes some getting used to.
ive just changed to the countryman cooper s auto so all the controls are the same although the gear stick is different and it has an electronic handbrake which i am strugling with a bit. dont know why probably just brain fade on my part. but its brill, i just couldnt get in and out of the 3dr since my back popped. otherwise i would have kept it for the full term.
