MINI One/Cooper/S (New)

Overall Average Rating - 85.99%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 40th

You won’t find many drivers that haven’t fallen for the MINI’s charms at some point, but those who have taken the plunge are less satisfied than you might expect.

BMW’s new-shape MINI makes its Driver Power debut a long way up the chart from its predecessor, and while you rate its low running costs, comfort and practicality are well below par.

Ratings

Position in the Top 100 cars
Reliability: 54th
Build Quality: 65th
Running Costs: 8th
Performance: 16th
Braking: 8th
Ride Quality: 81st
Handling: 11th
Practicality: 97th
Comfort: 73rd
Ease of Driving: 29th

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 19th)

Good news for MINI, which has risen six places. That’s some achievement given that the MkI charted in a disastrous 99th place in the Top 100 and its successor was only mid-table.
