2001 BMW Mini One review from UK and Ireland
"Don't bother with a new Beetle - get a new Mini!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing so far. The driver's seat had a bit of a squeak, but adjusting the rake angle has fixed it.
The power steering pump moans away to itself all the time, but I think it's just a trait of the car - it works perfectly.
General comments?
The Mini One is very nippy with 115BHP on tap and very quiet at motorway speeds. The Cooper is be even better, and the new Cooper S will be incredible.
It's handling is reminiscent of the old minis. It's very responsive and corners beautifully. The brakes are fantastic with disks all round and anti-lock.
Slightly surprised at the lack of a spare wheel. You get a tyre-weld kit instead as standard, but you can order a spare wheel as an optional extra.
