Rode in a new R57 Cooper today

It was a horizon blue with a chocolate top, all 4 packages, the openometer, and also a G-meter gauge...needles to say it looked phenomenal. I just went for a quick ride when one of our motoring advisers brought one from a training class for a bit. I was pleased that the car felt much more solid than the one it replaces. The exhaust note also sounded beefier than other r56 coopers. I can't wait to try out the r57 cooper S in a couple of weeks. MINI definitely did a great job with this one folks.

PS - you can actually see out the back!!!!!!!

Hey!! That sounds like Simone!

That is what I ordered for my R57. Same color and top. She will also have the hot chocolate upholstery. So glad to hear that the ride is nice. Makes me feel a little better about spending the money

I'm just disappointed you can't get this interior for a Horizon Blue hardtop... only available w/ the Conv and Club.
