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 not so MINI - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Porsche91108 - August 13 - 2:00 am

  i love the MINI, i think it is the best car out there for the money. There is so much room inside compared to what it looks like on the outside and the interior design is awesome. As for the exterior, i still have people look at the car when i drive by. It is so cool and fun to drive that i would recommend it to anyone. AWESOME CAR!!!

  Just a pile of problems and no fun - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By jcloyd1 - July 20 - 10:00 am

  I got my Mini a few weeks ago and it has been nothing short of a disaster. I spent money on the "S" and only recently found out that BMW has to go back to the drawing board. Apparently, 20% fail in the first 3000 miles according to my local dealership. I was one of the unfortuante ones. Live and learn I guess.

  What is the excitement, not here - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By bigjames - June 7 - 10:00 am

  I have owned three Beemers in the last 10 years and thought the MINI would be a fun addition to my collection. What is disaster. BigJames does not need this mess. The car looks stupid just a few days after you bring it home. BigJamess only good thing to say is that he should be able to unload it with minimal depreciation since it is so hot right now.

  Luv my MINI - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Beth G. - June 1 - 10:00 am

  If you dont like to be stared at, this isnt the car for you. No matter where we go, we are stopped. Everywhere!! We are having so much fun customizing our MINI with a dash- mounted televison, DVD player, and white bonnet stripes.

  My 2002 Cooper s - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By bikerbilly - May 19 - 2:00 am

  I motored 8000 miles in 90 days. Its fun to drive and as close to a MG1100 on steroids as you can get. I wouldnt comapare it with a 65 mini for acceleration but it does handle. Great on ice and snow as well as dry road.

  Im get a 2nd! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Miniowner - April 25 - 10:00 am

  Ive got about 2,000 miles on mine now - I have nothing but praise. Hi-way driving for extended trips is not what this car is about - but boy the daily commute is fantastic! I sold my Mustang Cobra for this little guy - no regrets! Im now going back for an "S" - my wife equally excited. How great!

  I will keep my 325i thank you very much - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By beemermania - April 19 - 10:00 am

  What a flawed attempt by my friends in Bavaria. Underpowered. Unrefined. Poor build quality. I am just thrilled I did not sell my 325i when I picked this one up. Within a week there must have been a wiring error because the car simply died on the highway while I was going 70. The Mini dealership said this has happened to a couple others here in town. I will keep my 325i and sell this piece of work as soon as possible.

  Big Kids Go Cart - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Nextboat - April 16 - 11:50 am

  I used to own a 1967 MINI Coooper S. It was great fun, but unreliable, and in the shop constantly. The new MINI Cooper S is everything I could have wanted back then, and more. Handling, Safety, creature comforts, and feels better at 100 miles an hour than most cars. We use this car to move theings when we cant use our 5 series BMW, because we can fit more in with the seats folded down. This is a great car.
