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.

"uncle" - 2002 Mini Cooper
By cheryl, - October 2 - 6:53 pmThis car is so much fun to drive, rivaling other imports Ive had. It has plenty of power to render confidence in passing and on ramp approach, corners on a dime, and has awesome gas milage without performance trade-off. However, Ive experienced way too many costly repairs ie. engine wire harness, intake valve module, cooling fan module, power steering pump etc. Its time to cut my losses. Regretable, I scream uncle.

ITS NOT A BEEMER!!!!!!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By justplanenutz - May 4 - 10:00 amWhy does everyone keep trying to compare it to a BMW?! It was designed to be a fun, sporty, LITTLE vehicle for those in the under $20,000 category to enjoy. No it is not a 328!!! If you have $35,000 you should go buy a 328 and shut up! If you do not have $35,000 then please go buy something that was designed to go really fast and quit complaining about a really good car!!! I like my MINI!! I like Beemers!! The MINI is not a Beemer!

Its a 20k car forsake! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Deneed4spd - March 28 - 10:00 amI have read few negative comments. These people really have dumb comments. Many say its unsafe. Of course its unsafe, the car is small! Common sense, if you want a safe car, buy a bigger car. Its a $20000 car. How much performance do you want. It really sounds like people are expecting the car to handle like a porche gt3 or some super tunner. I drive a bmw 328is and race autox dsp. I have the opportunity to test drive both the Cooper S and Cooper, and I feel for the price they are amazing. You try buying any other stock car for 20k and see if it handles this well. Lastly, the engine. Its a small car = small engine!
