The Mini is more than just a beloved classic. In 2001, the British icon took the leap into modernity - and 2.5 million have been sold since. Now the wraps are off the third-generation new Mini. Its dimensions are a little less mini - almost 10 centimeters longer and 4.5 centimeters wider. Drive it! takes a look.
