head room is a little tighter but the seat height is much the same.
i like the exclusive trim and theres a nice cream leather.
on wpms the cooper is 0 ap with the comfort nav pack its £536 with stratstone offering £500 its practically 0 ap too.
i just need a test drive to check that the 1.5 is enough for the bigger body, i have the 1.5 in the 3dr mini at the moment and its good but i just want to make sure it can handle the increase.
if its not then i would go for the 2 litre cooper s its not much more anyway.
