About The Mini Cooper
Vehicle Summary
The MINI has been stealing hearts for decades with its unique rounded-boxy appearance blended with its small size ready to slip into car ports and narrow urban parking spaces. However, it should never be written off as a car too small for anything. Smart designing inside makes the most of every inch, so you can turn heads at the market while still fitting your boxes and bags inside. When you opt for some turbo excitement, it turns into a little speed machine.
Originally an all-UK brand dating back to 1959, it took decades for the dapper machine to reach America. BMW purchased the marque in 2000 and opened the door for US sales. Ever since, drivers have been competing to hop into this hip ride. The third and current generation of MINI became available for sale in 2013 and includes the Two-door, a slightly larger Four-door, the nearly spacious Countryman, and the ever-popular Convertible.
Why do we call it the MINI Cooper? In 1961, a racing legend named John Cooper brought his MINI into his garage, tweaked the suspension, played with the engine, and the little red car went viral as it scooped up a ton of rally trophies. Now, we popularly refer to all MINI brand cars as MINI Coopers.

Reviews for Mini Cooper
2010 Mini Cooper, a great lil car
I love this car. I had to read the owns manual to figure out the real bonus. In normal situations the gas mileage is real good, about 400 miles on a tank of gas, unless you depress the sport button, in which case your car is transformed into a lil hot rod. it might eat up a lil more gas but what a ride!
Excellent car at a great price!
This car has great gas mileage, is very dependable, and just feels good to drive.
Pros
- Fuel Economy:
- Reliability:
Cons
- Cabin Noise:
- Power:
I love the car. Kinda pricy.
I like the gas mileage. I am noticed much.
Pros
- Fuel Economy: About 40 miles per gallon
