MINI Hatchback (2006 - 2013) 1.6 D Cooper 3d (Chili Pack) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm really not sure.

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

Think t looks great. Impressed by the fuel economy.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. Very economical and fantastic to drive. I'll run this one into the ground first though - I drive too many miles to keep changing cars.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly another Cooper Diesel, maybe a Clubman. That is I can convince my wife to keep her Volvo estate so we can cart the family around.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£15,500

When did you buy the car?

August 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not bad. Got some discount as this was one of the last Cooper D's to come without BMW's extra economy devices (optimal gear change light, etc)

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Fuel economy

What was the dealer like?

Keen to sell. Little hard to get hold of once I'd ordered it. Paulssons Bil, Helsingborg, Sweden.

What's it like to drive?

Fantastic on windy roads. Great in town. feels very solid and stable on the motorway. Could do with more horsepower sometimes but I suppose that would kill the fuel economy.

What's it like to park?

Very easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Not much but there is plenty of space in the front. Feels like a much bigger car until you look behind you.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Tough question - Cruise control or Mp3 link (Mini Radio Boost) probably
