I do im afraid - always have both windows open, lots of air fesheners and shampoo it once a week and I doubt if you could tell its a smokers car

Great read, i wish more people would go into detail like this. Reviews like this are much more interesting than reading in a magazine.

I know what your saying about the breaks, I have read some jornalists describing it on super car levels of stopping power! wow.

Great car, great review, thanks for this. I want one now!

Trust me the breaks are not just good- they are astonishing.... Ive been in some nice cars and I have never felt anything like them. They were the main part of the car that I wasnt expecting to suprise me and they have just blown me away. Makes me realise how much bmw skimped on the cooper s breaks- they were dangerous compared to these.

XENONS ?!

Otherwise its rude!

Had them on my cooper s, mums got them on here car - and a couple of mates have them........

Tbh - I dont rate them that highly - rather spend the money on other things -- they are a rip off from the factory.

Does anyone know if you can just delete the roof stickers as I'm selling my 172Cup to get an R27 in black at the mo. I can understand the different points raised on her but had my two years fun and fancy some nice seats and air con. Shame the punch has gone but may be a bit of tweeking could sort that. Whats everyones thoughts on that spoiler I saw the one at RWS and it looked smart.

 

[Alan]

Yes mate you can, as i did when i bought my R27...

 

[Moby]

Glad to see another happy R27 owner

Gave the car a good wash, put on a couple of coats of Autoglyme extra gloss protection and sealed it witha couple of coats of wax. Also been using meguirs quick detailer every morning and im really impressed with it.
Went on a long drive round the cotswolds on sunday - found some incredible roads and stumbled across a pub in the middle of nowhere that had a bikers meet there with probably over 1000 bikes involved.
The only problem was my mates camera had a problem on the memory card- and my phone ran out of juice before we could get many pictures.
Anyway heres the photos I managed to get off my phone.
