Correction. I just saw a 4 doors Mini in the real. I don't like it.

The 2 extra doors break something, IMO.
I now understand Ze Bimb's opinion on that one.
Less ugly than the Fiat 500 4 doors, though, but much less appealing than the Mini 2 doors.
Best,

Here's the new MINI 5 Door
By: AnthonyTsai : September 13th, 2014-16:41
Here's the new MINI 5 Door which is larger than the regular 2 door MINI. The back even has 3 seats now so this makes it a much more practical family car if you don't mind the small trunk. It'll come offered in these 6 model variants: MINI Cooper S 5 door ...
As opposed to what Nicolas says ...

.. isn't too bad but it's nowhere near the mark 1 (R50) or the mark 2 (R56) like yours ... i do like the Cooper with it's 1,5 litre 3 pot and 136 hp ... a 7.9 to 62 mph (100kph) is far from bad ... and fuel consumption might be good too ... maybe :-) Fili...

.. a Beemer FWD ... :-) ... well, if they manage to make the Mini such a cool drive i hope they make it happen to the BMW as well ... Once read somewhere in a survey that 80% of BMW drivers didn't know whether their BMW was FWD, RWD or even 4WD :-) ... . ...
Looks practical. Should sell well!

I'm really starting to like the Minis after I got one as a rental in November of 2013. That was a great car! I drove 1100 miles on it in three days and enjoyed it immensely! This is the first time I heard about a 5-door Mini. Thanks Anthony! And I think I...
