rozzerfodder Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hello everyone, can anybody confirm what real world MPG they are getting from the new turbocharged cooper s. I am sure I recall the original supercharged version as being a tad thirsty for a 1.6 around the 30mpg mark iirc. The current figures for the new turbo version suggest 45mpg as a composite figure. Is this correct as in the current climate of rocketing fuel costs it could well turn out to be a relatively cheap hot hatch to run. Any comments regarding this and the new version in general would be welcome. I have been a passenger briefly in an old version but have never driven one. I do 25000 miles a year, current car being a mkV GTi and am slightly worried that it may be a compromise to go for this car. I am also considering a 123d coupe, different car, different price league but i am keeping my options open. cheers in advance Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm getting mid 30's at the moment, but expect that to improve as the car runs in (only about 2,000 miles on it currently). The new one is certainly a massive improvement in efficientcy compared to the old supercharged one (CO2 drops from over 200 to 149!!) Great fun car, but not going to be as smooth as your Golf I wouldn't have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocket rocket 200 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi, I have a 2007 cooper s (turbo charged). I average 34 miles to the gallon if I keep my foot out of it (hard to do!). Great car, love it, handles like a dream, performs up the kazoo! Best car I have owned since long ago, my 1969 Plymouth Barracuda S 340 six-pack (back when Detroit could make cars).

Shukran Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I could not resist it. Which one did you buy? Cooper S in a different price league than a 123d (bm troubleyou, I assume)? How much is the van look alike with the tractor engine in the UK? The MINI is in a different class league too - the bm is just another over-rated bm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bistokidz Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I do 17 miles on motorway twice a day and have been getting 41mpg as long as I don't race it. i.e do a steady 60/65 where possible. But I didn't buy it for its fuel economy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
