Good Points
Got a black mini one 2002 plate a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving it!! After learning to drive in a mini I just had to have one!! For my personal use I find it very practical as it's normally just me and a passenger. Only being small my self, I find the leg room in the back acceptable but wouldn't suggest someone tall sits in the back.
Bad Points
I do admit that the mini isn't practical for everyone's uses, especially families. I also find the clutch to be quite stiff as well and getting into reverse is annoying when its cold as another reviewer mentioned. I personally don't see the boot space as a problem as I don't really require a lot of room but I can imagine it's not going to be acceptable to many people who need the space.
General Comments
I find the mini One 1.6 16v very nippy and fun to drive I would highly recommend it to someone without a young family. I did find a crack in the windscreen that had apparently been there for sometime according to the window repair guy. But thats no fault of BMW and I have no major faults with the car.
