I think it's time to renew and would like some opinions.

I'm thinking of trading my automatic 2006 R50 for a 2012-14 Mini One. (I haven't yet decided on manual or auto.)

Most of my driving (sorry to say) is done sitting in traffic jams so speed is not really an issue. I think I'd rather spend the money on a newer model One than an older Cooper or S. I figure, if I go with a stick I can even make up for some of the hp lack.

I'd appreciate any opinions. Thanks.
