How do you all like yours?

 

So I cannot comment just yet. I drove the car in 2002 and again in 2005 and for whatever reason I did not order one. I again drove a modified 2004 MC edition before I went to test drive the 2007. I think the 2007 is a much improved car. It just felt much more substantial (not to take anything away from the earlier cars). I would be interested to know what others thing who have driven both. I know there are many more mods available for the pre-2007 cars, but I am sure it will not take long for the companies to get up to speed on the turbo charged cars. I cannot wait for mine to arrive.

I just sold my wife's 06 and got her a Sparkling Silver 07 MCS with Carbon Leather Lounge, Sport, Convenience, Cold Weath, and Prem pkg. She absolutely loves the car and it definitely feels a lot stronger with the Turbo! Only down side was no auto's available

Here are two horrible quality Pics that don't do the car justice!

 

Dvh,

why did u sell it?
i drove one and it was nice.

 

You are right it was nice! The Mini is my wife's car and his her #1 choice of anything out there. We sold the '06 for several reasons... We looked at the new ones and loved the the new body and especially the interior. The new turbocharged engine was a huge factor and besides getting the better torque curve of the turbo, the gas mileage is improved greatly!

We also didn't get the right set of options in her '06. We really wanted the Sport, & Convenience, which we didn't have in the '06 and were upgraded in the '07 option packages to incude Xenon Headlights, bluetooth Handsfree cell adapter, and comfort access (keyless go)!

After looking at them I told my wife I'd put her's up for sale as it was a beautiful pepper white that we'd had all decked out with tinted window and powder coated wheels and only 3k miles. I told her that if someone is willing to pay our asking price, we'll go get you a new '07 as the difference wasn't much at our asking price. About two weeks later someone came and bought it.

So that's the long answer. Pic below of her '06:
