Urban MINI assault course
13 Jun 2014
Recently we had a chance to experience the new MINI and put it through its paces in a short course set up right in the Zouk carpark. The course was set up to show off the MINI’s agility in tight spaces. Something drivers will find useful around our claustrophobic local roads. But the added challenge was the gravel surface that would give any car’s stability system a hard time.
The new MINI is expectedly larger than the one it replaces. Growing in every corner and a stretched wheelbase means taller friends will now fit a little more comfortably in your new MINI. But more importantly the new car is also lighter though only by five kilos but still an admirable fact considering the improved dimensions.
But has the changes affected the MINI’s unique ‘Go-kart’ handling? We took the 2.0-litre 192bhp Cooper S through a continuously tightening radius course that showed just how tightly the MINI could handle. Much to our surprise, the Cooper S put in good speed through this constantly tightening radius while doing it all on GRAVEL!

The entire experience from registering my car on OneShift to the handing over to the dealer was very pleasant. The process at OneShift was efficient and transparent. Special thanks to RenAi from OneShift who was very detailed and helpful.

Good response and support from Angie at One Shift when I wanted to sell off my old Camry which was due to be scrapped in early February. Would recommend this platform for those wanting to buy or sell their cars.
