Mercury1 Turbocharged October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 Looking at the back seats its practical if you only occasionally ferry 4 people around with little luggage, I would rather get a 3 series over this. Anyone with 2 small kids better think twice too :) My R56 A/c is kinda under powered during hot days, if this 4 door has a similar AC performance good luck to the back passengers hehe. The controversial 5 door is coming to Singapore soon ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it is changed to Tropical + Auto, a/c will be on full blast on a hot day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks for that David I will ask the Service staff if they can change the coding, its overdue for service anyway That's because it is set as EURO (if you check the coding).

Can anyone share if the insurance premiums are higher for a mini one compared to say an altis? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 Thanks for the reply bro. Can anyone share if the insurance premiums are higher for a mini one compared to say an altis? Based on your risk profile, go to 1 of the insurers portal to check it out. Rather than getting a new Mini One, why not consider 1 yr old Cooper S from Mini Habitat? I bought a 6 mth old Cooper S from Mini Habitat Used Car in Jan 2014 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rm2s 5th Gear October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 F56 review not so good...bigger than ever but nothing really better than the predecessor and the 5-door really stretching the word Mini... maybe die-hards will have a go at it... Many reviews I read from mostly European magazines are saying the car is not that much worst off than the 3-door version. In fact, most think that the driving characteristics are still very much intact. With the increased in practicality, it is for people who always wanted a Mini but limited by only 2 front doors.

Despite still look like NEW Mini, a lot of interior parts are from BMW part bin. To me, it feels too BMW now. Actually, back seat of Leyland Mini is even worst than New Mini.

If you have seen the Clubman during the recent BMW show at MBS, that car is huge, I mean, huge. It will have 6 doors. Read that you bought used 6 months old MCS, do you send your car back to AD for servicing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
