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.

  In six weeks I have managed to put 2,000 miles on my new mini, including 2 trips to the Keys on Card Sound Rd. (ouch), couldnt be happier, and to think I could be driving truck (SUV) instead, thank God I got my MINI, its soooo much fun.

  Fun - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Maleko - May 19 - 10:00 am

  To all the "I thought it was a $50,000 BMW": Do your crying somewhere else. Dollar for dollar the MINI COOPER S has to be the best value on the market. What other $20,000 dollar car has the technology this car has? What other $20,000 car has the handling this car has? NONE! This car is fun, fun, fun. If you cant figure it out and enjoy it for what it is... a fun car... then maybe you should go back to your ever boring BMW (Boring Mundane Wheels).

  Just got one - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Carla - April 17 - 2:00 am

  I was one of the lucky few to get one right after launch. It is a fun, feisty little car. It drives tight, quiet and perky. Accelaration is reasonable, albeit coming from a 6 cilinder motor it feels low powered.

  The Bomb - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By minie - March 25 - 2:00 am

  This car is probably the most enjoyable car you can buy on a budget. Handling is the key with this car. It turns on a dime and is perfect for the city dweller. Its not the family car, but its perfect for everyone else. Nice BMW finish.

  Great car! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By katrodgers78731 - February 26 - 10:00 am

  This car is so much fun on the Autobahns of Germany. We hate the idea of selling it but it does not fit a family of 3 very well. There is not a lot of room for a car seat and stroller.

  Just as good as an "S" - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By 2 many MINIs - January 11 - 10:00 am

  I have both the Cooper and a Copper S, the difference is minimal...I do not understand all of the hype for the S. It only matters when accelerating over 4500 RPMs. Dont wait for the S just get the Cooper and spend your saved money on aftermarket gadgets. THIS car is awesome and soooo much fun to drive!

  Love my MINI! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By ChristopherB - December 5 - 10:00 am

  Always loved the old ones and been reading about the new ones for the last three years. Couldnt wait to get my hands on one. Flew from Houston to Richmond, VA to get it and drove home averaging 85+mph and got 35+mpg. Car doesnt feel small at all when driving and fits me great and I am 60", 285. Never got uncomfortable all the way home (1350 miles). Great sound system and remarkably quiet.

  I LOVE MY MINI - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By jahotchk - November 23 - 2:00 am

  I really love my Mini, Ive only onwed it for about two weeks, but I already have 900 miles on it. It is really fun to drive and especially fun to look at. I think the best thing about my Mini, is that it took me only 15 minutes to wash! Unlike my Mini-Van, which takes me about an hour! It drives smoothly, I love the Navigation system and the Auto Air. Did I mention the kick butt Audio Deck? Man for a stock desk, that thing pumps base. I was thinking of puting an Alpin MP3 deck in there, but I am having second thoughts. I highly recommend test driving a Mini prior to knocking it. They are really fun, and I am enjoying ever minute of it.
