    I got my 66 plate F55 Cooper S 3 weeks ago. I’ve already done 1000 miles at an average of 41mpg. It’s well equipped comfortable and well built. Compared to the 12 year old Alfa before it, this car is very economical so far. Also compared to my experience with Alfa, my local Mini dealer is excellent to deal with. They are helpful, returns calls when they say will and do exactly what is asked for or agreed.

    Great reviewer. The German definition of Premium: strip the car until there's just a empty box leftover, and sell it at full price. Then put everything that was stripped out on the option list for double the price. Et voila, you've got your premium car.

    I’m sorry but the fiesta is pretty cheap in design COMPARED to the mini hatch, and the hatch is also just as fun to drive as a fiesta, the grip on a fiesta seems to balance out a little bit better and that’s about it, everything else? Mini 100%

    I have the F55 2018 cooper S with the 7 speed auto box. I think it's awful personally, always feels like it's in a gear higher then it should be. When you are doing 50ish on the motorway and go to overtake there is a total drop off in power whilst the gear box tries to respond and drop down a few gears. End up driving everywhere in sport mode.

    Good review, horrible car. The original mini was small and pretty - this Mini is just ..... ugh. It's neither one thing nor the other. Modern hatches are easier to upsize; "bubble shaped" cars like the Fiat 500 and Mini don't upsize well. Similarly, that retro circular instrument binnacle doesn't work with a modern digital display - not for me, anyway - like redesigning Big Ben as a digital clock.
