Mini has announced the third generation Cooper to be available in March. Of course, I already have one on order. ;)
Specs are impressive! Cooper gets 63 mpg, Cooper S gets 41 mpg and Cooper D is 81 mpg! These figures are from a UK site. For comparison, my Clubman gets around 40 mpg overall and my first generation MCS (the one with a supercharger) gets 27 mpg.
I posted a series of pictures showing installation of a Roadmaster baseplate on my 2008 Clubman, look for pictures of making my new Mini towable in the spring.
I find those numbers very hard to believe. Where did you find this information? Are you sure it's not in kilometers?:@
I'm curious, too...if those are 2014 model stats and are actually in miles-per-gallon, that'd be a HUGE improvement over even this year's models.
Real-world stats on the 2013 base Cooper is generally reported as
about 32 mpg, and the 2013 "S" hovers at
around 30mpg.
