Whilst the Mini could never claim to be bigger inside than it looks on the outside (it’s actually as small as it appears, just as you’d suspect), the Mini One/Cooper is a tribute to brilliantly attractive design and fantastic handling.  Cute and classy, cool and mischievous, this car triumphantly fuses apparent opposites into a sparkling jewel of style and engineering.

Unlike the originals from the sixties, the contemporary Mini is truly comfortable (if you’re in the front, anyway), making a trifle of long journeys and bumpy roads. However, like the originals, it does still have a space problem. The boot is tiny and, if your kids are approaching adolescence, they’ll have to be forcibly crammed into the back seat.

The performance, however, is surprisingly good, although for a small car it is heavy. You’ll still be able to enjoy satisfyingly energetic acceleration, excellent grip and superb steering nonetheless. The heaviness is part and parcel of the car’s robustness and the interior quality is vastly better than when it first rolled onto the roads. A small car that looks chic and cheeky at the same time, the Mini One/Cooper is as stylish now as when it first dazzled the world four decades ago.
