I'll have to say, this is one advantage of a left hand drive car. I get to write on the touchpad with my right hand.
WHAT GREAT FEATURES of this amazing car have I missed?
So what are the special features of your Mini that reallymake the ownership experience special. There are sadly so many for me; itreally is a huge list; as you can tell I love this car! Yes 3500 miles in and it still does it for me; each and every drive is a total pleasure .
The looks-the yellow with black alloys-never get sick oflooking at it or cleaning it in the daylight
The way the roof rack fits the rails-brilliant design
The quality of the paint-no orange peel here!
The looks at night-click the fob and it lights up like aChristmas tree-especially love the leds and the door handle lights-what a greatpiece of design
The quality thunk –when the doors shut. Much better than ther56
The LEDS at night-that purple haze across the top
Driving; the little bulge in the bonnet-love it
The sound of the 3 cylinder engine-amazing Porsche likewarble with turbo whistle WOW
Performance-this little car is fast-the torque surge from 2krevs is amazing and it just pulls!
The REV match function-down changes have NEVER been thissmooth-fantastic feature
Economy-never less than 44mpg so far, measured pump to pump and averaging around 47 with a bestso far of 49.
How cheap are these cars to run; low insurance (suppose I amold) and the 5 year service package-fantastic)
The ride and handling plus quietness-on its 17’’ Dunlop nonrunflats it is SO refined 70 feels like you are walking-licence loser
The Head up display and the messages it sends you
The quality of the dash plastics-fabulous
The fact you can set a limit to the fan speed when in automode for climate control-great idea
The separate temperature controls for driver andpassenger-and the classy looking controls especially at night!
The picture of the mini that appears as you get in on thedash
The wonderful toggle starter; love it and the glow it givesoff
The Bass from the Harmon Kardon system (right where you wantit!) and the stereo image created –especially by the centre dash speakers Ipresume-best in any car I’ve ever had
The hard drive-no need for any clutter in the car!
The idrive controller and the fact there are SO MANY differentways to get at the functions; voice control (seems to work really well) thebuttons, scrolling through options or the handwriting recognition on the top;they really have thought of everything and if you cant find your way around oneway there is always an alternative so you can choos what works for you!
The display –love the graphics on the speedo display and thefact you can scroll through so many options
The smell of leather as I get in-the half leather seats mustbe real leather!
The hugging seats-really hold you in place
The display ring; love that it changes colour and can be arev counter etc
The voice control-brilliant; works really well
The limit button-set it and never worry about speed camerasagain –especially those average ones!
The chunky steering wheel
The fact that when your hands are on the wheel the vents canblow warm air onto them
The heated front screen-seconds with a frosty screen andyou’re off
The autolights and autowipers-leave and (nearly)forget
The silence of the wipers-no squeaks whatever the weather
The quality of the switch gear/stalks
The massive difference between the 3 excitement modes-thoughnever use green!
The engineering thought that went into the moveable floor ofthe boot-even got a catch that holds it up and out of the way!
I could go on; have I missed anything; feel free to add toit! But nothing negative in this thread-it’s a what we love thread after all!
