The cabin is surprisingly spacious.

When the Mini was first introduced back in 1959, the main objective of its manufacturer was to provide a small car model that is easy to maneuver around the narrow streets of London. Decades have past and the popularity of the Mini has grown, including its mini size – which has been corelated with its totality as a car model. Impressively, even though that the Mini is indeed mini, its interior space is generous. It may not be like sedans, but its cabin is enough to sit people comfortably.

There’s no Android Auto connectivity feature.

If you love the Mini but you are also an Android smartphone user, you might have a downside about the Mini as it doesn’t support Android Auto connectivity yet.

The cabin insulation could be improved.

Yes, the Mini is premium and the materials used to make it are as well premium. However, it has a poor sound insulation. When you’re inside the car, you can easily hear the engine noise and the wind noise from outside. It could be manageable though, but it is not desirable, especially if you are easy to get out of focus in driving.

The Mini requires premium fuel.

It is a major concern if the car you are acquiring is going to be expensive in the long run because of its required fuel needs. Sadly, the Mini’s engine needs premium gasoline fuel to run, and that would sum up a massive daily budget out of your pocket. Nevertheless, it may not be a problem for those people who doesn’t mind spending a lot on fuel, as much as they didn’t mind spending on the Mini.
