It might be getting bigger with each new generation, but the MINI is also getting better, to the extent that now it truly feels like a cut-size BMW. It's also an award winner, having scooped the Convertible of the Year title at our 2019 awards.

In 2018 the car underwent a mid-life update consisting of tweaked exterior styling, more technology fitted and even more ways to personalise it – a key part of the MINI's appeal.

While it’s possible to spec a highly-personalised MINI that’s eye-wateringly expensive, most versions are actually very well priced if you buy with restraint. Inside, the MINI gets a raft of technology, and it's safer, better equipped and more sophisticated than ever. Unless you go crazy with the bewildering range of options, the MINI hatch is generally a cost-effective car to run.
