. . . says Automobile Magazine. Why is it a collectible classic?
. . .it's an utter delight to drive. The Mini reacts instantaneously to steering input, its responses more akin to a go-kart than a modern compact car. Body roll is remarkably well-controlled, and the Cooper transitions into mild understeer at the limit. Such handling has its advantages in the city - not only can the Cooper dart around obstacles and squeeze into tight parking spots, but its modest limits are so accessible that even the most mundane urban commute can suddenly become a personal road course.
