Unlike the 1959 original, today's BMW-developed MINI is an expensive ‘premium’ small hatchback. That hasn’t stopped thousands flooding the roads, and an extensive options list means it's easy to make every MINI feel unique. Excellent resale values and economical engines make owning a MINI cheaper than you’d think, too. Six versions, from the basic First to the high performance John Cooper Works offer something for everyone, unless you need much space for luggage or rear passengers, that is. All versions share the same quality feel and are brilliant fun to drive.
