Why? Much better than the fake trim nonsense.

How are the normal twin pipe S's fake trim nonsense though?

I think you’ve misunderstood. A lot of cars have fake exhaust trims, what they’ve done with the cooper s isn’t fake. That’s my point.
There isn’t a twin pipe option on the new one afaik.

And it’s better than the totally hidden exhaust, which a lot of the new minis have.

I went to look at one this afternoon. Really nice inside. Wasn't able to test drive it though unfortunately. My wife is going to be trading in her f56 cooper s for an f56 JCW week after next as well.

Has it got the pro exhaust? The noise generator thing is way louder on the jcw, really annoying (but easily coded out).

100% agree that the plethora of fake plastic trim exhausts on other cars look shite.

I can only imagine these looking shite on a cold start with steam coming out the back and the bottom though. The old style was much nicer imo

If I was going to have one, it would have to be British Racing Green with black roof and mirrors. The one I looked at yesterday was red which I didn't think suited it that well. Apparently they aren't doing test drives atm so I decided to leave it.

Tbf just drive an f56. Same chassis underneath for the ic cars, only the electric ones are totally new. It’s why the door handles are different.

If it is that similar to the F56 then I don't think I'd have enough of a reason to swap out of my mk7.5 GTI. I have read that the steering is lighter than the f56 and the interior is interesting!
