I have a 2002 Cooper S and I love it. I thought I'd trade for a newer one, and no dealer wants to hear this, but I have just become such a partner with this machine I just hate to part with it. Although 2010 seems like it has my name written all over it.
They remain(Coopers) one of the best on the road. Living in Western PA a lot of hills offer a challenge when covered with snow but none have stopped me yet.
I'm hoping the SUV will be out in time for a PA. snowfall.

 

Sounds like you need two....that 2010 will compliment 02 nicely

 

yeah I think you are going to need two as well
