Lovely, fun, zippy car. A real head turner is our Henry.
Had to have a new back window after 2 weeks, as one of the heater wires was not working.
I previously had a new Cooper S in 2003. I sold it 9 months later as I was given a company car, and I have been hankering after another Mini ever since. Roll on 2006 - still have a company car, but have given my daughter the old Fiesta, and I now have the opportunity to have Henry Jnr. (Cooper S was original Henry). This time I went for the Mini One Seven with loads of extras (upgraded air conditioning, Harmon Kardon, chrome and vis pack etc). I went for the Mini One as I am insuring my 17 year old son who is learning in it.
Performance wise, it is not quite as quick as the Cooper S, but it still has the same lovely feeling when driving. I was dubious at first when hubby suggested a One, as I thought it would be a "gutless wonder" after the S, but one test drive later and I was ordering it! I am very pleased with it, and I love the way you can personalise the car with the vinyls, and there no two are the same. I won't be selling this one very quickly.
