    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Superb - especially with nice big 13" wheels. Nothing can beat it on a twisty country road.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not as bad as you'd think - pulls away from the lights well if revs are kept up.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ignition-starter motor relay failed once.

    THE car to be seen in - turns heads wherever you go. Such a great feeling to be driving along and flashing your lights at another Mini.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Bouncy, but really doesn't bother me. Cruises surprisingly well on long motorway journeys at 75/80mph.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Steering lock and a door key the size of a locker key. Hmm...
