Overview & Reviews

BMW subsidiary, Mini, resurrects an unforgettable old favorite with the release of the 2002 Mini Cooper. Available with either a 115-horsepower four-cylinder or a supercharged version of that engine worthy of 163 hp, the pint-sized but glamorous three-door hatchback features BMW-engineered suspension and steering and a base MSRP under 17 grand. Whether you're a 40-something hoping to relive earlier days, an autocross enthusiast or just the mild-mannered next-door neighbor, we expect that you'll run to the nearest BMW dealership in search of this coveted bundle of joy.

• Questionable interior ergonomics, limited first-year supply.

  Great Car - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By nimwad - December 12 - 2:00 am

  Just what we expected! Small car, good gas mileage, thrilling ride. Great value for price. Our BMW 540 is stronger and more comfortable by far, but when we leave the house we head for the MINI. Weve had it less than four months and have put almost nine thousand trouble free miles on it. It has many of the same standard features that are on our 540. Thinking of getting a second one! Go motoring!

  Great little car - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Paul Jones - December 1 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Mini Cooper S for 1 year. When I bought it, I thought I would sell it and make a few dollars on the inflated prices of 2002. After driving it for a few days - I had to keep it. This thing handles better than 98% of the cars on the road. It has great power, all the comforts of any luxury car, and is very safe too. The performance aftermarket is very strong too, so there are no compromises to owning this foreign brand (thanks BMW!) I would give the car a big thumbs up.

  Fun Mini - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By cw2fly - November 12 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Mini Cooper S a week ago, and I love it. This is the most fun car I have driven in the 34 years I have been driving. It handles extremely well on curves, and has plenty of zip. I get lots of grins, waves, and thumbs up from other drivers, and the car is a conversation piece where I work.

  "Monster" - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By MonsterMINI - October 17 - 7:56 am

  Monster is the license plate of my 2002 Chili Red Mini Cooper S with black bonnet stripes. It is BMW technology at its best - an affordable, compact car that people from all walks of life desire. The history plays a major roll for this car, yet even if this was its first time around, I believe it would be equally as popular simply because of its perfect engineering and carefree lifestyle that it promotes. Whenever MINI owners pass one anther on the street they most always wave or honk, very unusual in todays world of "iPods."

  A lot of fun for less - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Greencooper - October 6 - 10:00 am

  The new MINI is the perfect car. As long as you dont think you need a SUV for your groceries. How much more fun can you get for $20K? Great around town, easy to drive, fun on the corners, amazing at 100+mph on the hwy. Looks great inside and out. I have the British Racing green with a beautiful leather interior. Oh, and its $20K! If you need to show the world youre pimpin then spend the extra $30K and get an M3 otherwise the MINI is for fun and light-hearted motorers that like to have a good time everyday, all day.

  Good value/fun for the money! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By lugnutz - October 6 - 10:00 am

  The car is well built and solid. Handling is go-kart like and similar in capability to my classic Mini. Ride is excellent even over 100mph. Power could be improved with more low end torque. But if you wind it up, its quick enough. You just get into 5th a little over 90mph. Critics must be unfamiliar with classic Minis or mini cars.

  Zoom. - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Mini1380 - October 6 - 10:00 am

  The car just wants to go. This car has drivability/handling of a go-cart with the quality of a BMW. Being six feet tall, I easily fit in the car with room to spare. There has been an amazing amount of time spent on details such as the programable options: light delays, auto-locking, etc.. I just love the car.
