The TTRS spoiler is a little too shouty.
Funnily enough, when we were looking for that car, every single one we found was owned by a very blokey bloke. Not a coiffeur in sight  |
I drove it back from Glasgow - 5 hours none stop - and, despite my shoulder still not being 100% after the op, it was comfortable enough. It’s not an ‘8, of course, and the refinement and comfort is nowhere near, but I bought this for fun and I’m keeping the S8, so the best of both worlds! We now have a diesel Mini estate/clubman for trips when economy is important (50-60mpg whatever the conditions) the TTS for fun (and a bit of economy at something over 30mpg) and the S8 for style, fun and comfort (I’ll not mention the ‘economy’!).
