MINI Hatchback (2001 - 2006) 1.6 One 3d (04) (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a "wifie" and I love my mini. It looks good and is the best car I've driven. I drove a mini back in the 70's and this is nothing like it. There is more space and better equipment and definately more boot space. Its a well built fun car which holds its value well

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My teenage kids think its cool. My older daughter has just passed her driving test and has borrowed my car since. Thankfully I've just bought her a KA.Even my 85 year old mum likes it though she can't get in the back seat!

Would you buy this car again and why?

My next car will definately be a mini but i think i'll move up to a cooper.I'd really like a soft top but my husband says they're too easy to break in to
