Easiest Choice ...

Okay, so the "Toughest Choice" thread is moving along nicely ...so lets look at the opposite angle now ...what was the easiest choice when configuring your MINI?

For me there were two things it had to be ...it had to be an MCS and it had to have a manual transmission.

How 'bout you? What was your easiest choice?

dean.

Had to be a Manual S, then maybe the HiFi. The rest was wants and desires to fit my budget.

This is a cool thread!

Easiest choices for me were Cooper S with manual tranny, Limited Slip Diff, and Multi-function steering wheel.
