2014 MINI "So Much More Car For Your Money"

That is part of what United Kingdom's Auto Express has to say in its verdict upon review of the new 2014 MINI Cooper. Here is the full verdict. The article gives the new MINI four out of five stars:
For only a £400 increase over the old MINI Cooper, this new model is so much more car for your money. You get one less cylinder under the bonnet, but the performance and economy leave its predecessor standing, while the expanded dimensions make the boot and interior more useable – although we’d wait for the five-door hatch if you want a family car. MINI has managed to make it softer and quieter, as well as more competent in the corners. We’ll leave you to decide whether the styling changes are a success, but there’s no denying the new MINI is a big improvement.
