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.

Mini is a great car - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Eamonja - August 27 - 6:23 amWhen I got the Mini I did not think it was powerful enough but I was sure wrong not only is it powerful enough it is the most luxurious car I have ever steped into. Its not like BMW luxurious its like leather couch luxurious. It is a very good choice to buy the Mini Cooper.

Fun to drive - 2002 Mini Cooper
By pvd - August 1 - 2:00 amThe car is absolute fun to drive. Although straight line accelaration is acceptable, switching lanes and driving winding roads cant be much more fun then with this car. For daily commute the horsepower is more then adequate. But handling comes with a prize, dents and other road shortcomings are well fed back to the driver, although in a acceptable manner. Fuel consumption is average. If you do your best low fuel consumption is feasible, but the car invites you to a more robust driving style, hence a relatively high fuel comsumption for a1.6 L engine.

My 2K2 Mini Cooper - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Lucky Andy - August 1 - 2:00 amWhen I first saw the Mini last spring, I knew I wanted one. Just what I need at my age to make me feel young. I love the look of it inside and out. Everywhere I go I get Hi fives!

Lets Motor - 2002 Mini Cooper
By OB - July 2 - 10:00 amDo not believe the negatives written in this site. The only negative with this car is the wait. Those scathing emarks can only be coming from the competition. Anyone who actually owns one and driven one that these bad reviews are BS. Lets Motor.

Clutch and Transmission Failure - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Fun in Del Mar - February 20 - 1:46 pmI have had a lot of trouble initially with the computer system of the car, but the worst is that I had to have the clutch replaced at 75,000. miles and now I need a new transmission at 83,000. miles. Dealer tells me its my driving - but I have been driving Beemer stick-shifts my whole life - I never had to have either one of those parts replaced until I got to 175,000. miles. Furthermore, all maintenance the car needs is very expensive - which may have to do with individual dealerships. Nor am I happy about the acceleration of the car. It certainly does not compare to any of the 3- series of the BMWs - but then again its also cheaper.

Well worth the wait - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Stymie - February 17 - 10:00 amThe amount of extras and attention to detail has related in surprises nearly every day. It is obvious there was alot of innovation, detail, and quality that went into the car. It is more than I could have hoped for and I am thankful to have such a nice car at a very good price. Performance wise there is not another car close to it in the same price range.
