The latest Mini Cooper received top marks by the IIHS, including the agency's prestigious Top Safety Pick nod. The Cooper can be pressed into cargo detail (especially the Clubman), but it's actually smaller and less practical than many hatchbacks that cost far less. The four-door Cooper Hardtop adds 10 more inches, and the Clubman wagon adds nearly 8 inches on to that figure. Those engines can be paired to a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.īy the numbers, the Cooper is 4.5 inches longer, 1.7 inches wider, and 0.3 inches taller than the Cooper it replaced in 2014. At the top is the 2.0-liter turbo-4 in the John Cooper Works edition, which makes 228 hp, and we have a wonderful, warm straight jacket waiting right over here for those drivers. The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 in Cooper S models makes 189 hp-but may outkick its own coverage. The base turbocharged 1.5-liter 3-cylinder makes 124 horsepower and is very fun to drive. Three turbocharged powertrains are available in the Cooper. The Clubman is the only Cooper available with all-wheel-drive. The Cooper and Cooper S are also offered with four doors, which are standard on the Clubman. The Cooper comes in several different flavors, all of which can be customized to your budget: Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper Convertible, and Clubman. Although its exterior was overhauled two years ago, you'd be hard-pressed to spot many differences. Its interior has (thankfully) evolved from its quirky beginnings to its relatively useful and meaningful design today. This essential Mini Cooper is one of the most recognizable shapes on the road today and universally fun to drive. It earned a 6.7 out of 10 in our overall score thanks to its unique styling and great handling, with room to improve on safety and features. Among all its body styles and kinds, there's the two- or four-door Mini Cooper a soft-top Mini Convertible a long-roofed, and a four-door Mini Clubman with side-swinging doors at the rear. The 2017 Mini Cooper is a hatchback with a lot going on.
