Review
Having been known for their iconic three-door Cooper S, my interests were peaked when this five-door version was released. I was itching to find out whether the fun factor was still as high, with practicality added into the mix. So, I headed down to the MINI showroom to find out.

And I wasn't disappointed! Despite being longer, taller and heavier than its three-door counterpart, the five-door Cooper S still performs up to standard in both power and handling aspects. MINI fans with the need for more space in their cars can certainly look to this to meet their needs for something fancy yet practical.

What I like
- Added space so my wife and parents will stop harping on the impracticalities of a Mini Cooper
- Still as fun at its three-door brother
- Pretty roomy rear space for something its size

What I do not like
- Rear doors are a tad smaller than most five-door hatches so entering the rear might be a little troublesome for larger adults
