cooper s or silverstone?

[mattwax]

hi all,i currently drive a cooper s clubman which i love .i recently took a test drive in a clio silverstone and the handling and performance really impressed me .so much so that im seriously considering trading in my mini for the silverstone.however ,somethings holding me back.mpg,road tax,servicing costs etc.in your experience should i change my mini for the clio?

isn't the silverstone just a clio with stickers? (another limited edition )

yeah pretty much a 200 version of the R27 i think, comes loaded with options and some stickers, think it saves you cash if you were planning on speccing up a 200 in the first place though

I'd rather have a mini, just not the clubman lol

the mini is a great car but when it comes to handling the clio (with the cup chassis) has it well beaten.
