2.0 Cooper SD Auto 5dr SUV

Nice car

Yes, it's an oddly proportioned car and it's rather ugly from some angles but, as a package it's excellent. We bought this car to replace a 3 door fiesta ecoboost. We wanted a car that had a similar driving character but bigger, the Mini suits this bill perfectly. It drives very well indeed. Plenty of room for Junior and his pram etc. The car has enough pace for what I need and feels much, much faster than its figures suggest. Road tax is reasonable at £145. Fuel economy is OK at 37 mpg. The car feels very well put together, no rattles or squeeks. Tyres are expensive, but other costs OK, insurance is unbelievably cheap. £300 a year cheaper than our fiesta.I deliberately bought a low mileage car as this model features the N47 engine, due to this I have dropped the oil changes to 10k rather than follow the cars computer. Overall, a quirky family car, well built, fast and a head turner. People have actually stopped me in the street to talk about it.
