Description

The 2012 MINI Hatch 1.6 Cooper delivers a lively, engaging drive thanks to its punchy 1.6‑litre engine and smooth Steptronic automatic gearbox. Nimble handling, crisp steering and compact proportions make it ideal for busy urban streets while remaining composed on longer journeys. The low mileage enhances the confident, economical feel behind the wheel.

Practicality is strong for its size — folding rear seats and a usable boot make everyday tasks simple, while the well‑finished cabin with cloth‑leather seats and sport steering wheel adds a premium touch. Efficient economy and rear parking sensors complete a balanced package for style and sensible running costs.
