'It's one nippy electriccar and a compelling used buy...'
Ride comfort isn't a big Mini Electric strength, either. It jostles you around along beaten-up urban backstreets and thumps over expansion joints. Having said that, the suspension takes the sting out of most bumps in the road, and the car settles well enough at higher speeds so the slightly fussy ride is unlikely to be a deal-breaker.
Adaptive suspension is optional from new. We’ve yet to try it on the Electric, but our experience of the set-up on the conventionally poweredThe interior in the Electric lives up to Mini's upmarket standards, with plenty of soft-touch plastics on the dashboard, as well as solid-feeling knobs, switches and stalks. It looks great, too, with a cheerful, retro design – and thankfully, once you’ve got used to one or two quirks, that doesn’t compromise usability.
The driver's seat is comfortable, supportive and has a wide range of adjustment. The 5.5in digital screen behind the steering wheel makes it easy to see how much charge there is in the battery at a glance, as well as how fast you’re going. The digital instruments in some rivals show a greater variety of detail and are larger, but the Mini covers the basics.
There’s no electric equivalent of the five-door Mini – you get the same body as the three-door petrol Mini hatchback. That means getting into the back of the Mini Electric requires a bit of contortion. Once you’re in, there's less head room than in the regular petrol model because the battery’s position means the rear seats have had to be mounted higher.
