The new Mini Cooper

A friend of mine recently traded in her few years old Mini Cooper for the latest Mini Cooper model. At first, I thought it was not so practical to do this, but as it turned out, she didn’t lose much money and she got herself an even nicer Mini Cooper! So all was worth it. She took me out for a spin in it and I love her all new Mini Cooper compared to the old one!

The new Mini Cooper is a bit more spacious than the older model. The interior of the new Mini Cooper is also very pleasing to the eyes. Look at that huge speedo in the center of the car. It looks pretty cool to me.

The ride is also much smoother than the old one. According to my friend, this new Mini Cooper has a new technology that gives it a smoother drive. My friend fondly calls her new car a “toy car” and laughs at the fact that she only needs to push an on/off button to start her engines.

As for fuel consumption, she’s not sure how the car will do on this as she has had it for less than a week. Well, I’m sure she will soon find out as she drives her cool car all over town a lot! For people like me, with a kid in tow, this car is not practical. Well, even if it’s a weekend car just for me, I don’t think I’ll be willing to pay some RM190,00 for it.

Still, it’s a very, very nice sporty car.

GG, I didn’t ask about the OTR price. Probably still in the RM190k range.
