3rd Gen F56 Cooper Most liked posts in thread: Drove a Justa F56

Allriiiiight!! Let's hear it for the CVT!!!!

 

Thanks for the review

 

Gone is the "Bulldog" stance. Just sad :frown2:

 

Those lights are HUGE! :eek6:

 

That hood was sooo long! Chuck couldn't get over that as he drove. He and I are fairly big guys and we were wearing winter coats. We were squeezed in pretty good. I REALLY think the front snout is butt ugly, and WTF is that black piece of crap even doing there? For a 3 cyl., though, it accelerated well and it IS quick, though not an S...probably due to its being a lot lighter than an S.

The one we drove was pretty much loaded but it did not have leather seats. For me, I can find other ways to spend over $29k than on a Justa. I don't even want to think how much a new MCS would cost in that respect...and a JCW? Forget it!!:frown2:

 

...

 

OK, two GOOD reviews and one, half BAD. Still up by two, with one 1/2. Crash had the worst review, but he is a die hard R53 guy, so I only count it has half.

I'm keeping score.

 

I believe the Justa doesn't have the active sound enhancer (only the S).

 

HUH? Speak English...well, at least write in something understandable!ut: Jim, have you been sampling your family's hooch again as you type on here?

 

Because that engine is so quiet (or in MotoringFile speak, "refined"). It's what buyers expect from the BMW models that use it.

 

Thanks for the review

I am going to buzz by MAG this weekend to see them in person.

The tach reduced to the size of a postage stamp.....I rarely hear people mention that. Perhaps on the surface it seems like a small thing but IMO, it's indicative of where they are taking this car, and who they are building it for now-it's not us driving enthusiasts, that's for sure. Enhanced engine sounds on the S model via speakers? Yes, I know other cars now have this, but that doesn't mean they should.

I remember in 1987 when I bought a Mazda RX-7 Turbo II, it had a gigantic tach right in the middle of the cluster, and a much smaller speedo next to it. The sales person said at the time he had no idea why they made such a large gauge just to indicate "what the engine was doing".......

So glad I was able to see the final incarnation of the F56, and was able to choose whether to get an R56 or not before they are history. I had the same experience when the C6 came on the scene and I selected an outgoing C5 instead. In both of these cases I am very pleased with my choice !

 

In serious need of some rhinoplasty.

 

Didn't do so well on Top Gear.

So up by 1/2., or even, if you give Crashton full credit. I do. I dunno, I love have my handprints all over bonnets, just not MINI bonnets. We should start a poll for when the first "I dented my bonnet by shutting it" thread appears.

 

Well, everyone complained about not being able to read it and wanting an after market one, so MINI listened to ya and got rid of it. :lol::lol:

 

^^ F that I will keep my car.

 

Well, Chuck, there IS a solution. Just take that black thing off the new MINI's nose and and apply it to your's!:devil:

 

Hey, now you guys can dress like an F56, courtesy of Fantasy Toyland! :biggrin5: :beer

 

I'm waiting for somebody to name the new mini front-end....hopefully something memorable in the press....remember the Subaru B9 Tribeca....
