Greg Cable drove the 2014 MINI Cooper and provided his initial assessment to United Kingdom's
AutoCar giving it four out of a possible five stars. Cable answers the question, "Should you buy one?":
Yes, because while the danger in developing new cars from scratch is that they can fail to live up to the reputation of their predecessor, that is definitely not the case here. If you cherish driving or are an existing Cooper S owner, the chances are that you’re going to love this third-generation model.
It has been improved in every key area and is undeniably more fun to drive. Still, if you’re seeking simple everyday usability in a no less entertaining car, the born-again Cooper may well fit the bill at a more affordable price.
