Mini Stratford 1.6 Review: One Love
Fancy a Mini but can't stretch your budget for a Cooper or Cooper S? The Stratford might just be the one for you.
OneShift Editorial Team

What we like:
Agile and lively handling- cute looks
What we dislike:
Still expensive- not the most practical small car around
As you'd expect of Mini's premium pricing, you don't get much standard equipment in the Stratford despite a sticker price of just over a hundred grand. No parking sensors, no Xenon headlamps, no light sensor, no steering mounted controls for the stereo and so on.
But what you do get with the Stratford is a stylish, fashionable and timeless small car that offers enough performance and unparalleled dynamism among its competitors.
