    If your are searching for a small car then nothing beats the 2013 Mini Cooper as it is aesthetically appealing and is practical enough to get the job done. Regardless of how you view this brand, there are no losers in the Mini Cooper family as even the basic models excel with a hefty crisp acceleration. In the 2013 line up of  Minis you can go for the turbocharged Cooper S which is a highly  favored choice for those who want a combination of image and practicality. If you have an insatiable craving for speed then the top-level John Cooper Works edition is absolutely ideal for you. If budget is an issue then all Minis can be customized to suite your preferences and it is to a level unparalleled by any other small car with in this portion of the market. This due to reasonable pricing, manufacturing personalization, interior variants, exterior variants and dealership rewards and extra installed accessories.


    Despite its petite footprint, the car is rather spacious and comfortable for two adults.
    The charming little 2013 Mini Cooper is available in the JCW- John Cooper Works, Cooper S and Cooper, and each comes in the two door hatchback or convertible body design.

    Exterior Features of 2013 Mini- Cooper
    The base 2013 Cooper  as seen here at MINI of Balti comes fitted with 15-inch alloy wheels, complete power accessories, remote entry, air-conditioning, speed control, an adjustable driver seat, leather upholstery, floor mats, a tilt-and-telescope leather encased steering wheel, color-changeable mood lighting, Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo with a CD player, HD radio, a USB/iPod port and an auxiliary audio jack. With the Cooper convertible model you can look forward to 16-inch alloy wheels and a power convertible roof inclusive of a sunroof feature. The Sport package gives you 16-inch wheels on the hatchback design and 17-inch wheels on the convertible with fog alert lamps, traction and flex control, a back spoiler, sport seats and hood stripes.

    The John Cooper Works is fitted with a super turbo engine, upgraded Brembo calipers, an aerodynamic designed body and cloth seating.
    The 2013 Cooper is equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine and gives 121 HP and 114 pound-feet of torque. It is a six-speed manual with incline-start assist and a six-speed automatic is optional. Mini test drives show that a manual-equipped hatchback will zoom from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds (9.5 seconds with the automatic).Estimated fuel economy is 29 mpg in town/37 mpg on the freeway and 32 mpg paired with the manual.

    The John Cooper Works turbo boost will produce 208 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic are optional and available, with the automatic being a new option for the JCW for 2013. Mini estimates a zero to 60 time of 6.2 seconds for the hatchback and 6.6 for the convertible.

    Interior Design Of the 2013 Mini Cooper
    The aesthetics in the interior of this petite motor has a sense of playfulness and fun. The enormous center located speedometer resembles the old Mini. It might appeal to some but the design is far from intuitive and too cutesy to some. However, coming back to the 21st Century the Mini is up to date in terms of electronics. The Mini’s optional Mini Connected infotainment feature does feature smartphone seamless integration using a 6.5-inch display situated in the center of the car’s speedometer. Downloading a free app to your smartphone gives access to Facebook, Twitter and a plethora of Internet radio stations. Plus the Mini Connected has Google search and send-to-car functionality.

    The car’s front seats are long giving generous stretch and good height for headroom.  However in the rear, things are a squeeze with a paucity of legroom that makes seating adult passengers an impossibility. With just (5.7) cubic feet on tap, there is also a shortage of luggage space, but laying the back seats flat extends that to 24 cubes.

    Coming to the convertible, you will get a sunroof function that allows you to retract a portion of the soft top as opposed to lowering it completely. Its stylishly designed tailgate trunk opening features has a separate package storage tray that can be pulled out to load bigger items in the petite six cubic feet of trunk. Unlike most convertibles, the Mini’s rear seats can be laid flat to place larger items.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
