MINI Hatchback John Cooper Works 3d Owner Review

This is very much a driver's car. I have been driving since 1960. I used to compete in rallies, and passed my Advanced Driving test many years ago. I have never owned a car which is so much fun to drive. It's acceleration is brilliant, and it's handling is superb. I have pushed it quite hard, and have never had any drama. However, it may not be for everyone. The suspension is, as expected, quite stiff, making it uncomfortable on bumpy roads, nor is it big enough to be a proper family car. However, it is great for the young at heart (I am now 78 years old), so if you are, give it a try.
