Mini Cooper Review

The Mini Cooper has plenty of style and is great fun to drive. No other small car holds its value as well as the Mini, either.

Comparing the Mini with other small cars, it looks pretty expensive. However, few Hatchbacks are this good to drive or this stylish, and few are as well sought after, which results in a strong resale values.

The Mini Cooper/Cooper S comes with 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines, with the petrol developing 121bhp, and the diesel 110bhp. With its low running costs, and low insurance, it comes in as 8^th best Hot Hatchback of 2013 according to Carbuyer’s poll. (See here http://bit.ly/GPCarsMR1 )

Acceleration is sharp while giving good flexibility, which complements the direct, go where you want responsiveness and making the drive even more fun.

Economy-wise it can come with stop-and-start technology, minimizing emission’s output with an average of 37 MPG approx.

More comes as standard in the Cooper, including alloy wheels chrome trim, and there's an enormous list of colour's, trim variations, and wheels.

Mini has always caught the imagination of the public, mostly with the way their cars look, only to be perfectly matched by the way they drive. The way it reacts to driver input is a real treat made even more fun by the improved power and torque.

Some may be put off by the car’s focused and hard core nature.

That said, it’s certainly one of the best cars in its class, and is worth considering if you want a relatively inexpensive performance car that you can use on a daily basis.
