MINI Cooper hatchback review - Carbuyer

Unlike the 1959 original, today's BMW-developed MINI is an expensive 'premium' small hatchback. That hasn't stopped thousands flooding the roads, and an extensive options list means it's easy to make every MINI feel unique. Excellent resale values and economical engines make owning a MINI cheaper than you'd think, too. Six versions, from the basic First to the high performance John Cooper Works offer something for everyone, unless you need much space for luggage or rear passengers, that is. All versions share the same quality feel and are brilliant fun to drive.

A Mini Cooper S was my first car. The best car I've ever driven. Buying another as soon as I get out of basic.

Going back in time and appreciating the real levels of reviews. Great car

[jamieglasspoole]

It's so small, because it's designed to be small as it has done for years... Didn't think about that, did ya?

[Notknown]

He makes you fall in the love with car and hate the car also 😂💀

This guy reviews cars really well, almost want every car he reviews cos he sells it brillimatly

[IamMagPie]

I'm 6' 4" and have plenty of room. My new Cooper S is the most fun car I've ever driven. You should testdrive one at a dealership to see what you think.

Yes, it doesn't have bags of space inside - the clues in the name 'Mini'. If you want space would you buy a car called mini... I don't think so. Why do reviewers stated the bleedin' obvious.

Yes, the boot is impractical, but I manage to fit in the back with ease. I don't know why everyone says the rear legroom is so bad, it's just not. The ride is comfortable as well and the interior is definetely not cheap.

I can't wait to pick up my brand new mini cooper in about a month's time, apparently it's being shipped over from England as I speak/post whatever??.Anyways I have always been a mini lover and finally I get to own one hooray!! life is great :)

Man these spice orange with white minis are my favorite combo. This one is literally perfect best wheels and white turn signals. Impossible to find used and they don't make the r56 anymore. So all I have left is this video. Maybe one day I'll find one

[MrEiman]

u dont buy mini bcoz u want it for practical use, but u buy mini for fun and to look cool! even now in 2012, it has never look outdated, in fact it has becomes cooler each year. =)

I have a third generation F56, and it is a surperb car, exspencive to bay, yes, but cheap to run and so delightful to drive, and the quality is in another planet than the Citroen

[Giveupbit]

My first car is going to be a mini my parents and I are saving up for one

[ryan]

thing that annoys me is yes the boot is small but u can adjust the rear seats so there is more boot room without fully collapsing them

[SIGKOTAROSIG]

Really safe, got 5 Stars in EuroNCAP crash test

[shankarbalan]

The R56 S is the best. I love this car. Which is why I own one!

my dad said he is going to get me this... so awesome

Crash regulations mean making a car as small as the original mini with 4 seats is impossible today. Besides, the new mini is still small compared to most modern cars, it is over 2 feet shorter than a ford focus for example. And it is better built than the original mini too and still has more character than most cars you can buy.

I want one of these SO bad! And I'm short, so the lack of leg room's no bother, lol.
