MINI Cooper D
On relationship between value and price versions that seem most interesting are the two most powerful. For One and the MINI Cooper D in the market there are various alternatives that-at least-are priced much lower. For example, who look for a small car with gasoline engine and automatic change (what is best for city), have these alternatives. Among them, the MINI One is the most costly, especially if we bear in mind that the equipment is not very abundant series (no air conditioning). Its price is high even considering that their quality is above average.

The MINI Cooper D also seems to us the best choice among utilities with diesel. While notable for its dynamic qualities (stability and agility), its engine is noisy and vibrates. A Renault Clio 1.5 dCi is clearly better in these aspects and is less expensive.

By contrast, Cooper and-above all-the Cooper S cars are outstanding. The price remains relatively high, but is distinguished from competition for stability, benefits and consumption. The Cooper S is extraordinary for its rapid power (driving impressions). In addition, the relative price difference between a One and its competition is greater than that between a Cooper S and yours.

The MINI One is the gasoline (1.4 l and 95 hp), Cooper (1.6 litre 120 hp) and the Cooper S (1.6 litre turbocharged and 174 hp). The only Diesel is the MINI Cooper D, which has a 1.6 litre engine 109 hp. In general, all versions of the 2008 MINI range have a low consumption for power (comparative).

The models delivered since August 2007 (range 2008) have a series of measures to reduce consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide (similar to those of the BMW Series 1 and other models of BMW).

These measures are a function of automatic stop and start the engine when the car is stopped (only with manual), an alternator that does not lessen the power to the engine at stages of acceleration and an indicator that advises when to change gear.

With these measures, the MINI Cooper D reduced the average consumption 0.5 l/100km (now is 3.9 litres/100 km). The MINI Cooper S consumes 6.2 litres/100 km and any car with a gasoline engine that consumes so little power.

The consumption of other versions of the MINI also fell so outstanding (comparative). Apart from attractive or not its image, the best thing is not his body, but its dynamic qualities. Changes in the suspension in this second generation of MINI have done more stable and more comfortable.
MINI Cooper D
It is very suitable for those who enjoy driving a car requires extremely stable and no longer feel that contact with the road through the steering wheel or suspension. To some extent, these dynamic qualities detrimental to the comfort, but not as much as in the previous MINI.

After testing various versions of the MINI, with one normal and one suspension with the optional sport, we recommend choosing which brings the car series. The optional causes considerable comfort (something that is much note in potholes) and we do not believe that makes a significant qualitative advantage with respect to normal, we seems very good.
MINI Cooper D
Although the equipment is scarce series (especially in the One), the options available with a mini equipment can have a very abundant. Among the many options that exist, some serve a practical function and many others only change the exterior or interior.
MINI Cooper D
Of those who serve a practical function not all are interesting: in particular, are not advisable wheels widest possible, or, as we have already commented on the suspension harder. With the wheels and suspension of the series, the result is very satisfactory. With either of those two elements (or both together), we believe that stability is gained in less than what is lost in comfort.
MINI Cooper D
The stability control it is a convenient option unreservedly. We must pay separately in all versions except the Cooper S, which is standard. The number of lights that illuminate does not seem as good as should be expected in a car of this price, especially long. Therefore it may be interesting option of xenon headlamps. This optional lighting, for short and long, gives a very good (possibly no other utility with lights so good).
MINI Cooper D
The facet of practice MINI little change over the previous model. In the front seats two occupants fit well and it also gives the MINI feeling of spaciousness. There is little space for four occupants and little trunk. In the rear seats and there is little room addition, access is inconvenient. There are very good qualities and other related bad driving position.
MINI Cooper D
Good relate to the position where they are seated the two occupants (and relatively low with his legs stretched, nothing to do with a modern utilitarian) and the steering wheel and seats, high quality. The downside of the driving position is that there are certain controls to handle uncomfortable and certain elements of the instrumentation poorly placed and where the aesthetic function has prevailed over other aspects (such as the speedometer).
