MINI Cooper S Hatch 5dr
MINI Cooper S Hatch 5dr: all the fast fun of the Cooper S model but with a dash of five door practicality

 

I CAN see the MINI Hatch 5dr being so right for so many SME company car drivers and those small businesses with a user chooser approach to their business cars.

And having the enticing engagement of the petrol Cooper S in a more family friendly five door format just raises the appeal yet further – see our company car review MINI Cooper S five-door: the fast, fun, family car.

But while the Cooper S remains the halo car in the main range, it’s probably not the wisest choice for a company car driver.

With a benefit in kind company car tax band of 18% and company car tax from just £62 a month, the MINI Cooper S 5dr Auto is hardly a budget breaker.

MINI Hatch – now with five doors!

But while you won’t have as much fun, the 1.5 D auto model – with a benefit in kind company car tax band of 15% and company car tax from just £46 a month – makes more sense for the business driver.

OK, not as much fun, but more sense.

For business owners of course it’s quite another matter. To hell with the sensible hat. Here’s fast MINI fun with five door practicality. And as you run the business, you deserve it.

Job done!
