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.

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.
