MINI

Driven: Mini Paceman
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.

2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.

First drive: MINI Cooper
Sharper performance, handling – and price – for new Mini

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D
Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.

Wheels Review: Mini Paceman
MINI has a problem. It’s a problem Porsche faced and overcame, and now Mini is beginning to do the same.

Wheels Magazine: Volkswagen Up
As a name, ‘Up’ is ripe for ribbing. Even Volkswagen played the joker at the launch with a “This way Up” roof sticker on one example. I didn’t check to see if there was a companion sticker underneath that said “Wrong way Up”. But the VW Up is no joke.

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper S Cabriolet
Finally, second-gen goes sunny-side up.
