The MINI still makes sense out of its comfort zone as a three door, injecting a bit of extra practicality and usability into what is a fun family hatchback. The sweet, direct steering is a highlight and the 134bhp fizzes with a level of enthusiasm to match, it’s a good performer and relatively quiet on motorways. MINI’s Oxford plant is a British motor industry success story. Over 1,000 cars roll off the production line every day – a new car every 67 seconds. MINI boasts that 223,817 cars were built at the site last year, exported to over 110 countries worldwide. It means that BMW owned MINI is more proud than ever to wear its bought British heritage on its sleeve, and that leads us nicely to the most eye-catching change with the newly facelifted third-generation model - those oft mentioned Union Jack taillights. The 134bhp Cooper is the most popular model choice too, so driven here is a car many MINI customers will ultimately buy. the fresh MINI does boast additional spec in the way of new tech such as standard fit LED headlights and taillights, updated infotainment with new connectivity and interaction features, fresh styling and trim options, new personalisation options thanks to the MINI Yours Customised programme. MINI says it has worked on aspects of the car’s engine too. For the Cooper, the block is now marginally lighter thanks to the use of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic engine covers, while MINI has altered the engine management, cooling and exhaust system in a bid to extract a bit of extra fun and responsiveness. To drive it’s very much unchanged, and that means it’s still one of the best handling superminis out there, with an emphasis on agility. The steering itelf feels pleasingly quick on twistier tarmac, and those stepping into the MINI from other small hatchbacks may be surprised at how eager it is to turn with such little lock on the wheel. All cars come equipped with at least a 6.5-inch infotainment display, which can be upgraded to feature sat nav or to a larger 8.8-inch touchscreen unit.
