The MINI 3DR HATCHBACK II (2018-21) 3DR HATCHBACK II 2.0 178 GPF SS EU6 COOPER S PADDY HOPKIRK EDITION 6SPD is a three-door petrol hot hatch, blending MINI styling with a punchy 2.0-litre engine and six-speed manual. It sits at the sporty, premium end of the small-hatch market, appealing to drivers wanting character as well as usability. Its special-edition identity nods to rallying hero Paddy Hopkirk, giving this Cooper S extra appeal beyond its lively acceleration, sharp handling and distinctive, go-kart-like feel. It is more engaging than many small hatchbacks, while remaining compact and easy to park; rivals include the Volkswagen Polo GTI and Ford Fiesta ST. Mycarcheck.com records are modest—10 checks covering six VINs—so treat them as a snapshot: average recorded value was £18,700, mileage 25,000, and previous keepers 0.7. This MINI suits commuters and enthusiasts seeking a distinctive, fun daily driver, rather than maximum rear-seat space.
