    Is a new Kia Cerato a good 2015 Mini Cooper replacement?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 14 November 2019

    You can get a good feel for a car’s quality simply by looking at things like the paint finish, the panel fit, the feel of the doors as they open and shut, the touch of the trim and plastics in the cabin. Kia’s quality is generally good; I can’t see any reason why you should be disappointed with the Cerato.

    Mini Cooper 2018: Automatic shuddering
    Answered by Graham Smith · 24 January 2019

    You should use the park brake when leaving the car parked, and always engage the gear before releasing the brake to drive away. If it continues to shudder after doing this, have the gearbox checked, it could a problem with the clutches, or the hill-hold might need adjusting, or it might be fixed by a transmission oil change.
