Mini Cooper D 1.6TDi Diesel Hatchback...

The MINI, launched in 2001, introduced a whole new generation to the iconic model. Retro was all the rage and the funky hatchback took full advantage with its cheeky looks and classic interior both inspired by the original. The second generation model builds on this formula and although it may not look very different, comes with better engines along with improved safety and comfort.

It's still great to drive with go-kart like handling and good performance - even from the entry level First model. Some things have remained unchanged though and the MINI still lacks a decent boot while rear seat space is limited - standard equipment levels aren't generous either. But with a new diesel engine available, superb economy and almost endless levels of personalisation possible, the MINI is a great choice.

The diesel version - the Cooper D uses a 110bhp 1.6-litre turbodiesel. It isn't much slower in a sprint than the Cooper and has the benefit of extra mid-range performance, useful when overtaking. It's also incredibly economical, averaging an astonishing 72mpg while low emission ensure cheap road tax - as a result it's our pick of the range. Cars from late 2007 are fitted with Efficient Dynamics which helps save fuel and lower emissions thanks to systems such as engine stop/start
