Pros
Lively and entertaining to drive
The EV is ideal around town
John Cooper Works GP cars are very quick

Cons
The Convertible has a small boot
Ungainly looks if you choose the five-door
More powerful models can wear out tyres quickly

The CarGurus verdict
Park a current MINI alongside a 1959 Alec Issigonis original and you’ll question the new car’s right to use the MINI name. Over the years the car has grown in every dimension and become heavier and heavier. That is inevitable, of course, given the evolving nature of crash legislation and the consumer’s voracious appetite for more and more comfort and convenience kit.

So while the MINI isn’t quite so MINI any more, it is safer, faster, more comfortable and more practical than ever. MINI’s designers and engineers have also worked hard to maintain the lively, entertaining handling characteristics that have set all versions of the MINI apart from the competition for so many decades. Even now, it’s really good fun to drive.

The current version is defined as much by its versatility as anything else. You can have a zero emissions all-electric MINI if you, say, live in the city, a Convertible if you love feeling the wind in your hair or, if you get a kick out of the most uncompromising of driving experiences, you can have a two-seat MINI with more than 300bhp. Few cars can truly be described as icons, but the MINI is one.
