They are all available with an Aisin Warner 6-speed torque converter autobox. So depends what you want. If you want performance, then obviously the Cooper S. If you want economy and do a relatively high mileage, then the 1.6 diesel. The 1.4 has just been dropped in favour of a 1.6 with more torque so that should pull the autobox better.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
