I’m also a fan of the Prince engine fitted to the R56
Clearly that’s a sign of the times,
I see what you did there... is that engine a "purple top" like the old Astra GTE 16vs had a "red top" engine?

I read your write-up and found it very helpful. I’ve found an 2014 F56 Cooper S with a twin turbo 2 litre engine that ticks the boxes.Swapped my SLK 55 for a poverty spec 2015 F56 Cooper, 19 K miles, 15 inch wheels and auto box. Love it ,
Build quality very good , really good engine despite only 3 cylinders , very good road holding despite the small wheels and ride is so comfortable for a small car.
Good luck , am sure you will enjoy itI read your write-up and found it very helpful. I’ve found an 2014 F56 Cooper S with a twin turbo 2 litre engine that ticks the boxes.

My brother has an Abarth so that’s a no for me.Like Fiat with the 500's, they've really nailed how to put a great interior in a small(ish) car. I say "ish" as the 3rd gen MINI is a whole load bigger than the early ones.
But if you want leather, sunroof, funky bits and toys it has to be a 500 or a MINI. there's no other game in town.
I've sat in Fiesta's & Up's and been massively unimpressed by the interiors. Just because they're small and economical doesn't mean I have to be punished for my choice.

I’ve done Fords and in my view it just doesn’t have that extra something.
Mrs “change her mind” also likes the BMW 1 series convertible and the A3 convertible.
Just looked at Fiestas and they look a bit chavvy.Don't worry I'm not trying to sell you on 500's.
What I was saying is that Fiat & BMW have cornered the market in city cars with decent interiors.
I'd hoped to like the Fiesta but the infotainment looked like a ZX81 and the turbo lag made my teeth itch.
Oh dear , does this also mean that those of us who have sold our Merc and bought a Mini will also be ejected from the forumHow come this thread has been moved?
