Editor's Take

Der neue Mini Cooper punktet mit seinem ikonischen Design, dem modernen OLED-Display und dem legendären Go-Kart-Fahrgefühl, was ihn besonders für stilbewusste Stadtfahrer attraktiv macht. Gleichzeitig erfordert der Lifestyle-Kleinwagen Kompromisse bei den Platzverhältnissen und der teils ablenkenden Touch-Bedienung.

  • Agiles Go-Kart-Fahrgefühl und hohe Fahrdynamik
  • Hochwertiges, retro-futuristisches Design mit OLED-Display
  • Perfekte Stadttauglichkeit durch kompakte Abmessungen

  • Sehr hoher Preis und teure Aufpreisliste

Hi, I'm Michael. I built Carculated because I was looking for an independent calculator that honestly compares total costs incl. opportunity costs – and couldn't find one. So I had to build it myself in Excel. Now this tool is available for you too.
