MINI Hatchback (2001 - 2006) 1.6 One 3d (04) (2006/06) Owner Review

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all seem to like it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had wanted one of these since I was 17 and saved for a while to be able to afford one.

What was the dealer like?

Very pleasant, let me take the car out on my own for a test drive. Didn't pressure me at all.

What's it like to drive?

Great, could be a little more powerful but not bad for a little car. Doesn't feel under-powered compared with other small cars.

What's it like to park?

Having such a square stance makes it very easy to park.

Nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

It's a MINI, nothing is practical!
