• MINI Cooper S - New Mini Cooper SD (2014) 20 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  Hi guys, I posted to this forum a couple of weeks ago explaining I was shocked that the Internet has very little about the all new Mini Cooper SD. I collected the New Mini Cooper SD & the other half picked up her new Cooper, I must say both cars are great, the Cooper (1.5 litre turbo) sounds nice and has lots of poke too, she is averaging around 38 MPG and I'm averaging around 50 MPG (both being driving normally) But, I will provide you with more detail on my Cooper SD as the internet is lacking exactly that, I will be honest and remain as impartial as possible.
