Mini 5 Door A Confused Package

The 5-Door model is the latest to join the Mini family. As the name denotes, the extra couple of doors makes it nothing different from the Mini but does add a little bit to the practicality. According to me, it's a confused proposition that is being offered to the folks. Where on one side, the looks, the equipment level inside and the way it moves on the road, add to the positivity, the underpowered engine and the outrageous price tag it comes with, takes its strength. Moreover, the brand needs to realize that in India we have to deal with rougher roads which clearly mean that the car has to be more comfortable. The expensive price tag directly places it in the category of BMW 1-series and Mercedes Benz A Class, which is certainly a deal breaker. I am not an expert but I am quite unsure how those Rs. 10 lakhs extra over Mini Cooper 3-door makes sense.
