I just read the thread on the 2001-2006 cooper buyers guide didn't see anything for an 2007-2010?or 2011 not sure what the change is.
Looking at an 07 cooper S with the JCW pkg 60K miles I know that's the first year for the major body design and the consumer reports show a few issues just in 07 but I wanted to know real world experience.
I also noticed the the engine was a little chattery when it was first started but im assuming it was just because it hadnt been started in 5-6 days(its at a dealership) is that normal?
My other choice is a 2006 S JCW pkg also with 88K miles that one drove good.
Only concerns with that one was it had a little pull under moderate/hard acceleration but I noticed tires were due and had a little pull also which I also attributed too tires.Console lid was broken and had a little bit of a slow start I expect the battery going flat perhaps from sitting.
Any advice would be much much appreciated
