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.

Finally! It was worth the wait! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By AlanB - February 17 - 10:00 amI have owned a Mini (current one a 1964 Morris Cooper"S") for years! This new car lives up to what has made me a Miniac for so long. Absolutely floating on air when driving this puppy!

What a blast - 2002 Mini Cooper
By SevenBob - February 13 - 10:00 amI currently own the MINI Cooper S and an Infiniti G-35. While the G-35 is a gas to drive, the MINI is fantastic. I have never owned anything that is so much fun to drive.

What a deal! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Darren D - January 6 - 10:00 amThe MINI Cooper S has NO competition! Think about it...sports car speed, sports car (or better) handling, great style & looks, great fuel economy for the performance, all at an unbelievable price! Compared to the WRX which I was seriously looking at, the MINI has more low-end torque (no turbo lag here), better handling, more luxury options, better looks and is $4,000 LESS! Plus, a 6-speed manual! I have to agree with some of the others - if you cant get the S to move with the 6-speed manual, you arent a very good driver. A good driver will have great acceleration and power at any speed. Very highly recommended. Make sure you test drive the S.

caught every one looking - 2002 Mini Cooper
By mackie - January 6 - 10:00 amI have had my car 3 days. Every one looks and smiles. On the first family outing, We took the ferry accross the James river and were invited on the bridge of the ferry boat to inform the captain on "what kind of car that is?" He said " I look down on a thousand car a day and hardly pay any attention any more. But that car caught my attention."

My Mini = Fun and Value - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Toma - December 31 - 10:00 amSo far I have 5,000 miles on my Cooper, and have found everyone of them to be wonderful. I would like a little more power and probably would have that with the Cooper S and or a manual transmission rather than the automatic.

Like a supercharged go-cart on rails - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Tim C - August 19 - 2:00 amGot the car in August. Wow! Great styling, great handling, and an increadible head turner. My 16 year old car-fanatic of a son had been after me to get the Cooper S and he was right on. People stop me getting in and out of the car. They pull up along side me (on two lane roads) to chat about the car. I get smiles and the thumbs up whereever I go. And again going their is a gas. The bigest problem is that there arent enough winding roads to let it loose on....
