It was a Europe-only model. It was a lot like a Cooper, but it had less horsepower (ECU was restricted on purpose), and it had a very basic option choices like no contrasting color roof. It basically offered a simple cooper for a lower price as well as lower insurance prices (due to lower hp). I wish they came to the US....I'd get one instead of a Cooper anyday

Wow, blacked out, joey mod lights and creamy stripes. Great work. Oh, and those dark bronze wheels set it off. Are you on springs? The front looks lower than stock, but the back is still high.

Cooper99, nice ride. How do you like the ride compared to the 17" TD's?
I've considered the TD's in a 16" but if the ride isn't too bad, then maybe....
