The model

Read full review

The Mini 3dr is a hugely desirable small car that has plenty of substance to match its style. We’d recommend a peppy yet frugal Cooper in Exclusive trim to make the most of the Mini’s biggest strength, its well appointed interior. If practicality is high on your shortlist, we’d point you in the direction of the even more impressive Audi A1, though.

The trim

See full equipment

As the name suggests, this adds some visual clout to back up the punchy 2.0-litre engine. That means bigger 17in alloy wheels in black, a sporty bodykit, a rear spoiler, sports seats, sports pedals, a sports steering wheel and cruise control. You can also have sports suspension at no extra cost but if you value your spine, we’d avoid it.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 2.0-litre gives strong performance, but a Ford Fiesta ST would show it clean pair of tyres away from the lights. The heavier engine blunts handling compared with the lighter 1.5-litre Cooper, too.
