First New Cooper S in CT?

Saw a Yellow one today at my dealer in Stamford CT---my BRG is on the truck but we are in the middle of a snowstorm---it is probably outside freezing its *** off---I will not see it till I get back from St. Barths in a week. Thought folks might enjoy a few pics. I like the butt better than the 1st Gen. The front is nicer on the R53. The exaust note is lame and the interior while higher quality, is boring.

Excellent.

That's my dealer. The cars came earlier than they thought.

Very nice! Thanks for the pics. That's my combo!
I'll have to call my dealer and see if they have any.

Sorry to hear that. Can't say we had a great experience with Fairfield Mini.

I'm sorry to hear that too. I bought my Honda from a dealer that was unanimously praised by all my friends and everyone on-line as the best of the best. I thought they sucked.

So, I'm not too worried about Mini of Fairfield. Everyone has a bad experience somewhere ...like having a bad meal at a 5-star restaurant, it happens.

Yes, but our bad experince invovled getting stranded on a freeway, on Christmas Eve, and having to leave the Mini for 12 hours because Fairfiled Mini failed to include a simple, but essential tow hook with our car. When confronted about this, Fabrizio, vehemently denied any wrongdoing on their part, placed the blame on us, all the time yelling and being particularily rude. Needless to say, they lost a customer, and Westchester Mini gained one. Steve Stein Rocks, by the way!!!

I thought about buying at Westchester MINI and was told by two of my clients that made purchases there not to. Again, everyone has a bad experience somewhere.

So ...you pay your money and you take your chances.
