My '08 Justa a Cooper' is sitting at 161kms and a '10 Cooper is coming in at my favourite used car dealer. This one only has 70kms on it and it's a Camden edition...whatever. I'm tempted but i was looking for something larger with growing kids. F it and keep making the Mini work, the RAV4 is still the the family wagon. I'll post pics when I get them.
A '10 turbo? That's a pre-LCI motor, isn't it?

I think you kind of answered your own question right there. I had an R56 and it was not a place for kids to be...the back seat had near zero leg room. What about a Clubman?

Not a turbo JustaCooper. The N18 engines didn't come out until '12, this is the infamous N14. Yes a Clubman might be the answer, just need to find one.
Cleaned up the '10 MINI Cooper Camden today, it's in great shape but I need to find something bigger. Here's a pic:

What the hell is a camden you ask?
Seems to me you'd be trading like for like. If you want something a bit bigger, but still fun look at things like the Fiesta ST or Focus ST. As a former R56 S owner and current Focus ST owner, I can tell you that you'd like them.
A quick update - The Camden sold a while back but there's a '10 MINI Cooper Clubman 'S' coming in with really low km's (22000) and my R56 'JustaCooper' hit 162000km's this week. As much as I was deciding against another MINI this one may be too good to resist. Should be coming into the used car dealer I work at this week so I will have some pics soon. I could probably trade my MINI and pick up this one under $10k (Canadian). Plus with the extra room, the kids should fit for another few years. Not that colour matters but it's British Racing Green, a colour I originally wanted when I bought my MINI.
Here's a pic. It was a mess when it came in and has plenty of scratches and a dent by the passenger headlight but these issues are getting fixed. I like it but I'm having trouble convincing my wife it's a good idea to get another MINI. I let you know how negotiations go...
