As a MINI owner who frequently drives on highways, I can confidently say that MINI is fully capable of highway driving. I've been driving my Cooper for over three years now, taking long trips every month. Despite its compact size, its high-speed stability is on par with larger vehicles. The 1.5T engine maintains a modest 2500 rpm at 120km/h, with ample power reserve for overtaking. The precise steering makes lane changes effortless, and the braking system is highly responsive. One thing to note is that the factory-fitted run-flat tires can be a bit noisy, but turning up the music easily solves that. As long as you regularly maintain and inspect the chassis components, MINI is perfectly fine for highway driving. For beginners driving a MINI on the highway for the first time, I'd recommend avoiding heavy rain until you're more familiar with its handling characteristics.
