2025 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned Mini Cooper is immediately recognizable and retains its charm, agility, and fun-to-drive nature, but alas, a manual transmission is no longer available. The minimalist cabin features more technology and advanced driving assistance than before. The large, circular center screen acts as the interface for infotainment and climate functions. It is augmented by a head-up display that's handy in showing speed, speed limit, and the driver assistance status. The 201-hp, 2.0-liter turbo-four engine in the Cooper S is punchy and sounds sporty. The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is quick and direct but suffers from some low-speed hiccups.
Handling is super-agile, but the ride is very stiff and choppy. Four-door and convertible versions are also available.

2014-2024

2014 Model Redesign Year
The redesigned 2014 Cooper grew wider and longer, rides better, and has more normal controls. Improved ride and better noise isolation make it more suitable for longer drives and up to date connectivity for the time was welcomed. Even with these improvements, the Mini's frisky character and unmatched charm remain intact. The base turbocharged three-cylinder is surprisingly powerful, and the turbo four-cylinder in the S is strong. We got 31 mpg with the base car, and 30 in the S. While the automatic works well, the manual transmission better fits the Mini's nature.
If you want a fun little car, go for the base Mini. But if you want something really sporty, check out the Cooper S. Beyond that, keep things simple. New features for 2016 include an available Sports package with driver-adjustable suspension settings. Updates for 2020 included standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.

2007-2013

2007 Model Redesign Year
We really enjoy the Mini Cooper's excellent handling and performance. Nimble, quick and more refined, this 2007 redesign continues to be a lot of fun to drive. However, the ride quality of our S model test car was very stiff. Further, the design compromises practicality with its tiny rear seat and small trunk. This is a car you get because it's fun, rather than because it's practical. The larger and somewhat more practical Clubman arrived in 2008 with a small third door and a useful back seat.

2002-2006

2002 Model Redesign Year
The Mini Cooper is fun to drive and has plenty of head- and legroom up front. This version uses a small four-cylinder engine, paired with a slick manual, a CVT in early versions, or a responsive six-speed automatic. Handling is agile, with quick, precise steering and very little body roll. However, the ride can be choppy. The base engine lacks oomph, but the Cooper S, in early supercharged or later turbocharged form, is quick. A short windshield limits visibility, the rear seat is tiny, and the stylized controls and gauges are a confusing jumble.
But if you're looking for a car with character, the Mini Cooper has lots of it.
