Getting ready to pull the trigger

Getting ready to close the deal on a 2014 JCW Roadster. Two things it does not have that I would like.
- Comfort Access
- Heated Seats

Any chance of having these updated / installed by the dealer?

Contact your local dealer and ask if that's something they can help you with. Both dealers in ATL can supply and install these options.

I did without Comfort Access and don't miss it one bit. Heated seats on the other hand, well, can't live without those.

Heated seats will probably be cheaper than Comfort Access, I'm guessing...

Agreed on price on the 2014 JCW Roadster. Contracts being next'ed day'd to me. Then shipping it from VA to NH.
Looking forward to re-joining the Mini family.

Hopefully we'll see you around the NH events. We go to MINIs on Top fairly regularly, the Monadnock Berries MINI day, and a few other NH/Boston/Maine events.

I missed Mini's on Top last year, as I sold mine around that time. I look forward to participating in the 2017 event!

Cool - another New Hamster!

Re: heated seats - if you have any inkling of getting seat covers, Wet Okole offers seat-heating as an option (~$70 for both seats) with theirs (and lumbar support is an option as well).

Might be the cheapest way to get heated seats if you were interested in seat covers anyway.

Comfort access you'll have to do without. I don't have it on my Coupe but I had it on my 2 MCS and I do miss it. I do have heated seats though! Wife loves them more than me. They get pretty hot. You're gonna love that car though. We had/have essentially the same Minis.

Nice and congrats!

Comfort access is noce but could learn to leave without it.
But hated seat is a must for winter topdown driving
Hopefully you can retrofit that one...
