  • Mini John Cooper Works (2008) review

    Price:  £20,995

    14 July 2008 by Nick Trott

    Mini is attempting to create a sub-brand with JCW – think of it as the company’s own M Division – which means the John Cooper Works is more than the ultimate Mini. It's the first of many...

    The new Mini Clubman: one weird-looking car It sure is. Devoted fans of all things Mini – and there have been more than a million buyers since BMW first unleashed its lesson in retro pastiche in July...

  • Mini stop-start (2007) review

    03 September 2007 by Tim Pollard

    Stop-start? Is the Mini doing a little bit of Prius copying? Sort of. Stop-start systems are nothing new (manufacturers have been experimenting for decades) but they certainly have been made...

    19 April 2007 by CJ Hubbard

    This is old news isn't it? We've seen this new new MINI before... Ah, but no. You've seen the new Cooper, and the new Cooper S - the sportiest models. This brand spanking pair of cheery-faced...

  • Mini Cooper (2006) review

    Price:  £13,025

    06 November 2006 by Gavin Green

    A new Mini Cooper? Doesn't look that new… It really is a new car – every body panel has changed, new engine and new interior too – although it looks familiar and CAR Online has already tested the new...

  • Mini Cooper S Works GP (2006) review

    Price:  £22,000

    20 July 2006 by Chris Chilton

    Another fast Mini? I can't keep up... This one's a bit special, a road-going evolution of the Cooper S Challenge race cars. Or, as the cynical might say, merely a PR stunt designed to maintain...
