1,500 miles in and all is mostly marvellous in the Mini.
Hopefully, new car anxiety is a feeling we all get. You can do all the research and checks and test drives in the world, but buying someone else’s old car still can feel like a leap of faith. The first weeks seem to be spent listening for ominous rattles and groans , assuming a worst-case scenario for every imperfection and generally driving around extremely delicately indeed.
Of course, things aren’t perfect - not that I expected them to be on a 12-year-old, 70,000-mile car that only cost £6k. Having been spoilt with modern infotainment, the Mini - though not bad in terms of sound quality - does feel very, well, 2011 in its tech. The Bluetooth phone pairing was a cinch, and works well; however, it doesn’t allow for media playback, and the car doesn’t like any of the USB cables I’ve used.
