Review online/test report on 11th April

I will be attending the media launch of the MINI One and MINI Cooper Diesel on the 11th April 2007. There should be wi-fi access at the event, in which case live updates and photos will be posted when possible from the event.

Excellent! my One was meant to go into production last Monday but didn't and has been put back until week 16. So will be very interested in any reports, and Hiccup is rather taken by the D...

Thanks Paul!!

Exclusive: MINI2 Drives the new MINI One

Finally.



Have to say, after driving the Cooper D in particular, the One was a little underwhelming.

How come the test ONE has a light grey/silver interior on the door panels etc - I tried every combo on the configurator and couldn't get this colour.. Just wondering, thanks

All it says is "Interior World - Gotham Grey" and "Cloth COSMOS" in terms of additional interior specs.

I got the Cooper D first and took it out very early as I wanted to try and get in each car alone, and the D had had most build up/PR.

Wasn't sure on the longevity of the lighter colour, but it provided a better contrast with the standard grey ellipse trim, which I'm not keen on anyway.
