Does the new Mini still come with a manual gearbox?

No, the generation launched in 2024 has only a dual-clutch automatic. If you want a manual Mini, look for the R56, F56 or earlier generations on the used market.

What should I check on the clutch of a manual Mini Cooper S?

Cooper S and John Cooper Works cars wear their clutch and dual-mass flywheel faster, especially if driven hard. A metallic rattle at idle or a clutch slipping in high gears points to wear.

Which manual Mini is the most economical?

The Mini One and the Cooper D with a manual gearbox use the least fuel, thanks to small engines tuned for economy. They are also the simplest to maintain.
