Business Car Manager Verdict
Despite the marque’s continuing move away from original Mini ideals, the new bigger MINI makes much more sense for the company driver who will appreciate the seat down storage capability and greater headroom.
It’s rapid too and that excellent torque delivery makes for easy speed without having to ring the car’s neck.
On top of this, the image status remains intact lending a ‘rock-star-on-tour’ quality to work journeys and commutes and one that always brings a smile to anyone seeing the MINI sweep into the car park.
