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.

  What a blast from the past! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By KismetGB - November 19 - 10:00 am

  So far, I absolutely love this car. I was expecting to have fun in it but it has easily exceeded my expectations. The handling is simply awesome and convidence inspiring. The sales literature says it handles like a go- kart and it really does.

  Cant Wait to Get Another One - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By AimlssVail - October 19 - 9:13 pm

  We have had this car for 4 1/2 years in the Colorado High country. Even on a powder day I wouldnt trade it. It loves the snow and handles awesome. I average well over 30 miles a gallon around town and 40 on a road trip. It will wiz up Vail Pass at high speeds (shhhh dont tell). OK so it cant handle a snowboard over 156cm, I guess that is what the sunroof is for!

  MINI Cooper - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By czsue - September 18 - 10:00 am

  I cant believe how much fun this car is to drive. It handles great both on the highway and city driving. Even when you are driving at higher speeds you dont feel like you are in a small car, it feels stable and secure. Very roomy interior, and I like the set-up of the gauges. It may only be a 4 cylinder, but its zippy and gets great gas mileage. I am very satisfied with my MINI.

  Mini-O-Fun - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Mini-mac - August 7 - 10:00 am

  Just got my Mini Cooper. One of the first, if not the first one, in Portland, OR. It is a blast to drive, really sticks to the corners. It is a real head-turner. Loving every minute of it! It really is recognizable as a mini, even though no one seems to remember the original. Everywhere I go, I have to inform people of the history of the car... but that is ok... It is part of the fun of owning the car.

  What a car!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By BERANDY - July 14 - 10:00 am

  When I first saw this car I knew it was for me. Im a total car freak and have spent my life constantly trying to find out all there is to know about all the cars on the road. Finally here was a car with such character!! Just seeing all the little chrome details on the exterior was enough for me. Until this car came along I was afraid I was doomed to a life of all-one-color cars! Thank you BMW!

  Fun - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By MILTON - May 22 - 8:46 pm

  This is the most fun car I have ever driven. Its only downfall is that it is a little weak on take off. Its high end speed and gas mileage at the high end are great. There is no way to explain the handling and fun factor.

  Dont wait. GO get one! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By NOSUV - May 13 - 10:00 am

  I have had my Indi Blue Cooper for almost a month and its a superb vehicle. I consider it a sports car. Excellent handling, braking and visibility. Fantastic ride even with the optional 17inch BBS style wheels. GO GET ONE.

  Nuts over it - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Anne - May 13 - 10:00 am

  This is a head-turning car, SO fun to drive. Great handling, feels really solid on curves, smooth acceleration, and a ride that is much quieter than you would think for such a small car. Lots of power for my needs, and besides, if you want an S, looks like youll be on a long wait list and miss the fun of driving!

  Fun happy car to drive - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Beany - May 13 - 10:00 am

  You wont be disappointed in the Mini. It is a great car to drive and it feels like a sports car! The car is best suited to drivers using the back seat for occasional passengers. If you will be seating more than two people on a regular basis you might be well to size it up for all concerned before purchase.
