Zaxx 2nd Gear October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Actually cooper not a bad buy now.. there's 3 yrs free warranty and servicing and big disc off the list price. This is because the 3rd generation model is coming with new engine and design next year. I suppose they ll have to clear stocks soon. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShepherdPie 5th Gear October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 (edited) but how many ppl can differentiate btw a mini cooper and mini one. (exterior wise) and (interior wise) what is the diff btw new engine and old engine if your maintenance cost is fixed and you hardly can speed in sg. Seriously, with the high COE , fixed hiring cost is quite impt. dun be fool by pml and c&c with their low low pricing now.. ha haha :P in any case, jap is really not worth it now given that yen is so high.

13177 Hypersonic October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 (edited) As mentioned, those before 2010 Mini ONE are 1.4L. Mini Cooper is 1.6L all along. Mini ONE Mini ONE is definitely cheaper than Cooper of similar year make. Looking at the brand new MINI price list, i am really confused on the different version/names of the the MINI?! There are Clubman, Countryman, Roadster, Copper S, Works and Stratford? Edited October 11, 2012 by 13177 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Looking at the brand new MINI price list, dont think there are selling MINI one anymore.

Again - if you care about people being able to differentiate, then the Cooper is not for you. The Cooper is about driving experience, fun, fast and furious - not how you look!

Fixing cost is high for mini and jap car not worth it. Then i think no car can buy liao?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 But on a more concilatory note - the Mini One is a perfectly fine car - it's cute as a button, is well liked etc etc. The point is, if you have to be asking the difference between a One and a Cooper - you won't appreciate the difference.

Don't care how they name the rest of it. i like 'S' because the engine is "better" but hor.. Cooper look nicer from the outside.. very classic with mental grill and metal bar on top :) That day saw the matt green cooper in the showroom , damn choi :) i guess.. if you like cooper.. it's really not abt the "latest".. its how classic it looks.

Darryn Turbocharged October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 Becasue Mini is a fun lifestyle car - so as many different options as possible for as many different lifestyles as possible. Besides, its not that many - take a look at Beemer lineup, how many models and model variants will you count? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
