Never tried a Cooper S in Automatic ...... seems a rather strange concept but possibly nice, just would worry about selling it on.
No indeed, it's not the road tax, but the congestion charge for me. Sorry, should have been more clear with my thought process.

On a side note, the Cooper D remaps nicely to around 140bhp and 230lbft torque... yet because of it's original declaration on the V5, is still exempt from CCharge and road tax....
Not that I would condone such bending of the rules...
