This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
Cons:
  • Questionable interior ergonomics, limited first-year supply.

  • HAS MET ALL EXPECTATIONS - 2002 Mini Cooper
    By -

    FROM DEALERSHIP TO HOME, THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN POSITIVE. TORQUE AND HORSEPOWER ARE PLENTIFUL AND THE 6 SPEED TRANNY IS SPECIAL (DOWN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 1ST IS RESIST FREE !). FROM BRAKES TO AUDIO SYSTEM, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE. THE OWNER OF 2 PREVIOUS SIS, THIS CAR HITS THE SPOT FOR ME.

    test drove the "s" first handled great.i did not see the need for the $3000 upgrade to the supercharged "s". the mini cooper had plenty of power even up hills. i will take delivery of my new loaded up mini cooper with cordoba leather interior.

  • My Mini and me are tight - 2002 Mini Cooper

    With a new job way out in the country and a commute of 45 miles each way, it was easy to talk myself into buying a Mini. I love it. Mine has the CVT tranny, the sunroof, the sport steering wheel, and the cold weather package. The mini has been great on icy roads, not so great in deep snow, but absolutely a joy to drive.

  • what a great little car ! - 2002 Mini Cooper

    i test drove both the cooper and the cooper s. i loved them both. test drive it before you buy it, youll agree, these are so much better than those hulking suvs on the road! plus you can run circles around those monsters as they make their way from gas station to gas station.

  • Better than expected - 2002 Mini Cooper

    I have put over 1000 miles since receiving the car a week and a half ago. This is without a question one of the most fun driving cars on the road AT ANY PRICE! Be prepared to be the most popular guy in town; you will be stopped and questioned, smiled at repeatedly, and given thumbs up wherever you go. It seems as though everyone likes the car, regardless of age, sex or social status. The build quality is supurb, and it drives like a dream. The car is full of character and spirit, qualities lacking in most modern cars. My greatest fear is that BMW will mess with the design and add more useless features in the future. Get one now, quick!

  • Best Car. . .Ever - 2002 Mini Cooper
    By -

    The MINI Cooper S is, without a doubt, one of the greatest autos ever delivered to the masses. It combines just about every ideal for a car, from safety to sporty, economy to performance, capacity to compactness (read "park it anywhere"). Ive had mine for a year and have literally nothing but praise for it, and cant wait to drive it every time Ive got to go somewhere. Now Im just wondering when the honeymoon will end.

  • Great Car - 2002 Mini Cooper

    Its kewl, and its fast, the styling rocks, and the chicks dig it.

  • cooper s - 2002 Mini Cooper
    By -

    I have put 6k miles on my cooper s, and have only minor complaints to go with unlimited praise. The cupholders in front are usless except for a can of soda, the sunroof could use a better sunshade, the power is good, handling its excellent and simply a blast to drive
