MINI Roadster convertible (2012 – ) expert review
The MINI Roadster looks like a concept car, but is very much real. We love its looks and the way it drives, as well as its useful boot.

MINI Cooper S Coupe (2011 – ) expert review
The two-seater MINI Coupe is the flagship of the MINI range and the John Cooper Works version is the flagship MINI Model. Put the two together and you’ve got the most exclusive - and fastest - MINI on the market.

MINI Hatch First (2009 – ) expert review
The MINI First is the cheapest BMW product available. It has the same virtues as more costly models, like great handling, strong used values and good build quality but with less equipment.

MINI Countryman One 4×4 (2010 – ) expert review
The cheapest diesel Countryman majors on distinctive looks and impressively low running costs. The One D could be the perfect crossover for small families.

MINI Hatch One (2006 – ) expert review
The MINI One is more desirable than most small premium cars, with its cheeky looks, great build and engaging dynamics. But don’t buy one if you want to stand out from the crowd.

MINI Countryman Cooper 4×4 (2010 – ) expert review
The MINI Countryman is the first premium crossover, with a fine interior and drive. But, it isn't as good value or as practical as the Skoda Yeti or Nissan Qashqai.

MINI Cooper Hatch (2006 – ) expert review
The Mini Cooper is a real driver’s car and style icon in a pint-sized package. Space is at a premium, both for passengers and luggage though.

MINI Hatch Cooper S (2006 – ) expert review
The MINI Cooper S is a great hot hatch, with loads of driver appeal and a stylish retro design, inside and out. A fast and efficient Cooper SD diesel version was added to the line-up in March 2011.

MINI Countryman Cooper S estate (2010 – ) expert review
The MINI Countryman Cooper S is big on style and it certainly has the retro factor. It can also go places that other MINIs can't, but it's not cheap and practicality is limited.
