Would you buy the Cooper S or the Cooper Electric>?

@davcuts2897

I would go with the S. I don't want an electric car until the technology improves, and only one that can at least go 300 miles before it needs to be charged. 400 miles would even be better. I also don't want a car built in China like the new Cooper electric will be.

@@potatochobitwe just bought a mini cooper s current generation top spec model - got thousands off. Nice car - from what I’ve seen online the new mini appears more cheaply made and frankly not as ‘mini’ like, seems to have a tesla look and feel to it which I don’t find attractive.

cooper S without dual exhaust pipes is big mistake

Just by the looks alone, I think the previous model is so much nicer. It has more character, appeal in this trim or the JCW. Don't bite me, only my opinion😥

@user-bq5cs5oe5x well, if found the previous model not that elegant inside. Too crowded, not harmonious enough. Big mix of plastic, leather and métal. Now it looks more sophisticated imo

I get, it's newer more modern, but I'm glad my 2024 has a standard transmission.

I think not incorporating the flush door handles is a huge miss. And no manual or external exhaust is frustrating.

Why, why, why did Mini killed the exhaust pipes? A huge mistake!

I dont know but these newer gen Mini Coopers are slowly losing their Mojo. To me my favourite will always be the original Classic and closely followed by the R56. Not really happy with all these “Modern Interpretations.”

Yes. They do say the driving experience is a bit different, so we'll see

Hold up for a second… The F66 DOES keep the clamshell… The Cooper S just loses the hood scoop, it’s the J01 electric car that’s completely different and lacks the clamshell hood… Likewise for the U25 Countryman and the upcoming J02 Aceman

Such a boring design at all. I side and outside. No go! By MINI, i am sure the numbers of sales will be dropping very much.

They are definitely making these more lame. My F56 has a huge center exit exhaust. These - you can't even see the exhaust.

The cleaner look is more in keeping with the original. I always thought the previous BMW Minis were too fussy, so I like this new approach.
