We would so love to have a diesel MINI in the US but, alas, it is still but a dream. However, you can get the MINI Cooper Diesel down under and
Car Advice in Australia has reviewed it, posted a nice photo gallery and given it four out of five steering wheels. Its conclusion:
The MINI does retro better than any car on the market today, but still holds a huge appeal because of its driving dynamics, plus with its Cooper D variant can claim hand-on-heart that it’s green. The Prius tries to be funky with its wave-design interior and blue instruments, but has so much hard plastic that it can feel cheap – despite the $2800 hike over the MINI.
If it’s fun and green you’re after, then the choice is pretty clear.
