    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Overall very flattering and smooth, but let down by sluggish engine. Pulling away in first can be alarming!

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Good motorway cruising ability and smooth, quiet engine but otherwise almost complete lack of discernible acceleration! Even Cooper S disappointed me.

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No real problems. Had one boot rattle sorted by dealer. Oh and bizarrely, the steering wheel leather started to peel off! Also replaced under warranty.
