MINI Cooper S Hatchback boot space, practicality and safety
2002 - 2006
(change model)
Makes the grade as a four star car in the Euro NCAP crash test which makes it a million times safer than an original mini. Four airbags are standard and curtain bags are optional. Electronic safety aids are also standard and it gets the usual alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks.
Has the practical advantages of a hatchback with split-folding rear seats, but ultimate practicality has been sacrificed in maintaining traditional Mini styling cues.
