MINI Hatchback (2006 - 2013) 1.6 (Pepper Pack) (08/10 on) 3d (2011/61) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Another sad person who just had to have a Mini and believed it was a good car.

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

They love it but they don't drive it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. Too slow and annoying.

What are you likely to buy next?

It would have been a Golf having had nearly every mark but they are over priced so maybe a mark 7 in 3 years time...

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£13,495

When did you buy the car?

November 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Gave us a good part exchange price and told us exactly what we were paying without adding another year into the HP agreement.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted a Mini.

What was the dealer like?

Very likeable.

What's it like to drive?

Annoying. It is so slow to accelerate away unless you gave it a tonne on the pedal, then the fuel economy goes out of the window. Predictive indicators are the bane of my life in this car, can't get them to stay on when you want them to or to go off. Also same stalk has the lights which I have turned off on occasions when wanting to indicate. Now I know why no one indicates anymore!!

What's it like to park?

Really easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

NO

What's most practical about your car?

Being able to park anywhere.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It was the mood lighting but that gimmick has worn off now.
