+1 on the Comfort Access Package...

1. Xenons for sure
2. Drive both the "S" and the base. I have an "S" and would really miss the added fun and boost.
3. More options in the "S" package come as standard.
4. Before spending the extra on the HK sound, listen to both the base and the HK. If the HK is good to you, go for that but, if not order the base system and upgrade it as desired.
5. Factory security is quite nice.
6. Cold weather pak.....if up north.....

Blue-tooth integration if you are getting a manual tranny.

Not to confuse but I wanted feedback for options on both models (Cooper HT + Countryman). Looking to potentially purchase two vehicles (maybe both Mini) this year.

No biggie, very frequently new people come here and post a question. Then they can't find it because it is in a different section than they are looking and will post again in another section.

We have a MINI Cooper S and a Countryman S, so I think getting 2 MINIs is a fabulous idea!

What is a Cooper HT?

Generally to us "old timers" it's been referred to as a tin top or a hatchback(meaning non cabrio).

U can upgrade many things later such as I added lumbar support in 45min, sold my Run-Flats for All Season tires, upgraded shocks to Koni FSD shocks,
and other things.
But it's a real compromise if you like kick butt music to not get the HK stereo, or if you travel where the deer roam to not get the Bi-Xenon lights, and the heated seats are great if you like to feel warm in 30sec vs 5min in the winter.
SO let everyone know where your located and you'll get all sorts of offers to help... Happy Motoring

I am in Los Angeles, CA.
