OK, my wife and I are just thrilled about our MCS (Electra) now here is the question...... How, have you adjusted to the size differance? We have a started a MINI set of travel gear. We also have started looking for smaller games and things to occupy our time when we are at the motel at night. Our travel bags have been downsized and there are a number of other areas that are possible for "MINI" adjustment. Example, I found a mini lint brush at walmart. Great score I had a Large one in the old car this works perfect. Well ?????

The original Leatherman tool. Can opener, knife, philipps head and slot head screw driver, great pliers, wire strippers, awl and two files!!! but don't use the original sheeth, buy the $1.98 velcro one from Wal-mart! Also, an AC operated cooler... no more ice, or blue blocks, or water,... just cold beverages!!! Happy Motoring!!!!

 

I've shifted from my Isuzu Trooper to my Cooper as my daily driver. I notice that I want to buy little things for her, too! I haven't done any real traveling yet, but was quite pleasantly surprised at how much I could get into the boot after shopping at Costco the other day. And that was without putting the seats down.

Cheers!

From a driving size point of view, no adjustment problems at all. The change in size is a distant second place to the change in fun.

The quantity of stuff that can be stowed in hte boot is good. With the rear seats down, it's amazing. MINI will haul much more cargo than a Beetle because of its square backed design. The curve of a Beetle gets in the way of function.

To summarize: NO PROBLEM AT ALL!!!
