Why did you choose this car?
It is a MINI and feels like it i.e. sporty, solid, well built and a total hoot to drive. Feels far faster and more fun than the 228bhp MINI JCW Clubman we swapped it for! And it’s saving us a fortune in comparison, cheaper insurance and 190 mpg at our current electricity price.
