2009 Mini E: Redefining Driving

by Edmunds.com Road Test on November 16, 2009

This weekend marked my first time behind the wheel of the Mini E. Fortunately, the only items on the to-do list were a few local errands, so the car's limited range wasn't an issue. The E's aggressive regenerative braking took a lot of getting used to. As we've noted many times before, you rarely need to use the mechanical brakes with the E, since the car decelerates with a vengeance once your foot is off the throttle. It felt kinda like driving in quicksand, and I had to give a lot of thought to pedal modulation to avoid herky-jerky unpleasantness. As the weekend wore on, though, the ride got smoother as I became more familiar with the car's unusual ways. Here's hoping that my enjoyment of the E grows as I climb the learning curve.
