F56 Mini John Cooper Works - Auto or Manual?? - Decision Time

Did we make the right choice 🤔

[@Steven-iv1ie]

Would have personally gone for a manual but the rest of the spec is spot on! Hope you enjoy it.

[@midlifemotors5050]

Ive just bought a brand new JCW, i had no choice but automatic, now wondering if i did the right thing?

[@midlifemotors5050]

I wondered the same, but stick the car in sport and use the paddles to shift and it’s still mega 👌

[@Amanda-om5wm]

Yes agreed, I'm getting used to it slowly..........

Buying a petrol car in 2024? With your budget you could have bought a perfectly suitable electric car with more power and all the accesories you could want. Deafness for climatechange descibes best your action. Your grandchildren, if you have any, will not say thank you.

[@midlifemotors5050]

You do realise the huge amount of (limited) natural resources used to create an EV, the batteries that go into them and the power stations that charge them, yes?? Not to mention what happens to them at end of life. I’m all for a balanced approach tbh but yours seems to be rather uneducated and a touch brainwashed, be careful out there 👍

[@t2p]

Deafness for climate change … the nerve of some people …I reckon they like using the heater as it’s pretty cold over here ..maybe they didn’t fancy waiting around for charging or suffering the inevitable battery degradation or even spontaneous combustion …wind your neck in mate no one cares about your sad crusade

Do you know if you only get the heads up display with JCW? I original orders a cooper but they cancelled and I’ve had to pick from stock so getting a 5 door Mini Cooper s exclusive with premium plus. On the configuration on the mini website I can’t see heads up display so not sure what it comes with

[@midlifemotors5050]

Not 100% sure, but I think Premium Plus = HUD, yes 🤞
