trawling through the mini and mg specs i noticed that the countryman has hud on all models and electric tailgates on all. the mg hs hybrid+trophy has a nice tan leather option but at a cost £500 and wireless charging not on the zs.
Been today and ordered the Monochrome. Told we can collect on 13th Feb when current lease has ended so no wait with delivery times. The sport one does look better, but to get the spec that the monochrome has you have to spend £4,199 because the SE Sport is the only Sport with the level 1 pack that has heated seats and hud etc.
Its not ideal the climate controls etc being through screen, but its not a deal breaker and the majority of manufacturers are cutting costs by doing this also. The days of twisty nobs are numbered I feel, as much as they are the best solution.
