Having owned a Cooper D Hatchback I can safely say that I was hooked from there on in a fantastic car which was great in performance and fuel economy mostly averaging 55mpg on my commute which was mainly country driving through the gears. Best of all was the dealership experience which was second to none although I have heard this from most of the network they personalised the car for me to the colour, interior trim choice, sound system to bodystyling and better still the car is built in Oxford so from point of order to driving away I had a little over 5 weeks to wait. the TLC package is a must which at the time cost £150.00 for 5yrs / 50,000 mile servicing which meant it kept full dealer history and having recently parted with the car due to practical reasons I got a more than generous value for it in PX keeping roughly 65% of its value after 4 and half years and 48,000 miles of motoring!!
