craggsy 91 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ive seen a few on the road already.....dont look to bad for a mini Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Looks good actually.. wonder if they've fixed the self imploding water pump on these! Suppose that's what you get for using a Renault engine Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Totally awful, seen a fair few pop up in my town, it's full of "one-upper" toss bags so I always get to see plenty of the newest model of cars pretty much from release date lol. Renault? Think you mean shitroen Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry yea it is a Shitroen engine.. a big recall on the R56 mini's etc because of the water pump going. Worked on a few of the new ones and personally the new shape mini isn't a touch on the old one for build quality etc, heater dials feel cheap and nasty, interior doesn't seem as well put together either.

oldmandon 1 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sorry, but to me a mini should be SMALL....the clue is in the name. The latest mini's are HUGE. Compared to the old mini they look like sumo wrestlers. That new mini cooper has.. dare I say it... similar lines to a FAT porshe boxster from the side.....Don't like it..sorry chaps.....

Lukey. 381 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 was reading this months top gear and they're only gonna do a 2 seater roadster, ie the coupe with its stupid looking roof cut off, i have to say it will probably be an improvement Link to post Share on other sites
