Fuel Economy
24 - 32 mpg
EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
Full of zip, the Mini Cooper is a favorite for its fun styling and more powerful "S" model.
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Really fun to drive. Very quick and nimble.
Comfort
Generous space for the driver, with a highly adjustable driving position. The rear seat is hard to access, though. Ride is generally good, but the "S" model might be too firm for some.
Function
Central speedo a bust, toggle switch panel and other features sacrifice function for style.
Design/Build Quality
Styling rules the day here. Material choices and build quality do not disappoint.
Image Enhancer Cute as a button.
High Performer Available in base and high-performance "S" models.
