Having driven the Mini one D I have to say I'm well impressed.

The car exterior was very impressive like all Mini cars thanks to the BMW input.

But the interior had a certain English feel to it with the design of the dials and the feeling of much space...

And the Mini one D drove like a proper car not some cheap and nasty fake.

Sitting inside I would never have guessed it was a diesel engined Mini. Don't get me wrong, it didn't feel like a John Cooper Works, but neither did it feel like an OAP in a zimmer frame...

Basically it was (and is!) a most impressive drive, and at averaging nearly 70 mpg many drivers ought to sit up and pay attention to this Mini car...

Just take one for a test drive at your nearest Mini dealer...Trust me, I know a doctor
