If you live in the UK and have been dying to get your hands on one of those stylish little MINI’s but haven’t been able to justify the price point, you’re in luck. Mini has recently announced that they have launched the MINI First, a 2-door hatchback that will appear to consumers on a budget.
This car will feature a 1.4 liter 75HP 4 cylinder engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. Of course, it’s not the fastest car on the market with a 0-60MPH of 13.2 seconds but its estimated 53.3 MPG is sure to make up for that.
The car will start at about $17.950 and feature regenerative braking, variable valve timing, and auto start-stop. Unfortunately Mini has no plans at this time to bring to car to the states.
