Rover Mini (1992-2000) Review

Category: City Cars 1.5 out of 5

Summary of the Rover Mini (1992-2000)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Iconic image, the heritage, and it's still fun to drive.

Drawbacks

Dreadful ride, cramped, noisy, impractical.

Verdict

The Mini has long fallen behind the opposition in terms of refinement, practicality and just about everything else, but few other cars have been so loved. When you buy a Mini, you buy more than just a small, cramped, uncomfortable car - you're buying a design classic.

Review

Overview1.5 out of 5

Crowd pleaser

The original, and some would say definitive, city car. Inspires devotion, films, fashion designers... but it is old, outdated technology, at a fairly steep price. Perenially trendy, it's just a shame the ride comfort hasn't improved much since 1959.
