Mini John Cooper Works Review

Running Costs4 out of 5

Considering the performance, running costs are still reasonable. The JCW Convertible averages 39.8mpg and emits 169g/km of carbon dioxide; enough to push into tax band E and 21% BIK tax bracket if it's your company car. That's just one road tax group higher than the Cooper S, and a 3% penalty for BIK.
