Overview & Reviews

The 2007 Mini Cooper hatchback gets a top-to-bottom overhaul. Visually, you'll be hard-pressed to notice, as Mini wanted to keep the car's iconic styling intact. But the car is a little bigger than before and has a new interior and new engines. The Cooper S hatchback gets a new 172-horsepower turbocharged engine, while the base Cooper hatchback is now up to 118 hp. The Cooper convertible remains unchanged, save for the addition of a new option package. Called the Sidewalk, the package offers unique alloy wheels, special interior trim and unique leather upholstery, along with features like stability control, a center armrest and a Harman Kardon sound system.

• Not much horsepower in the base Cooper, questionable seat comfort, minimal room for rear passengers or luggage.

  2007 mini cooper S - run now! - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By anita28 - July 7 - 2:43 am

  I bought a used mini cooper S - it had 39000 miles on it and 5 owners before me. I ignored that warning sign because it was so cute and so fun to drive - big mistake. I loved that car and had it for 1 yr before I traded it in - too many problems to list but the last one was a recall. I knew from experience that Mini dealership would say it was something I did so I traded it in. They never covered anything - ever - it was always my fault. I spent over 2,000 bucks on it in a year. I love the car, always will but I cant afford the repairs. For a Mini car it has Major expenses, are you prepared to pay that price? I wasnt - driving a Toyota now and very very happy with it!

  This is a great little car! - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By DCroft - June 20 - 7:00 pm

  Ive only had it a week so the reliability rating may be bogus but this is the most fun you can have on four wheels. I find myself looking for twisty, winding roads. It is relatively inexpensive to buy and extrememly economical to drive. All that and a fast, very nimble drive as well! I couldnt be happier (but wait till next week...)

  Dont but get the Panoramic roof option - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By timmylee1958 - June 4 - 12:24 am

  I had wanted a mini cooper for some years. After finding what I wanted, in my price range, I purchased a 2007 base hatchback with 49k miles. The car was in super nice shape. Mechanically it ran and drove excellent. It has been an absolute blast to drive. It gets some super fuel economy. I was getting better than the average. 34.5 mpg combined. Then the trouble started. Sun roof stuck open. $1100 to install a used Sunroof just 5 days after I owned the car. Dealer said this is Common? The replacement sunroof had so much wind noise it sounded like a wind tunnel. 2 months later the replacement roof failed I just sealed it to help eliminate the wind noise. Dealer

  My 2nd MINI and still the best to Drive - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By Luis Rojas - April 30 - 11:40 pm

  I am on my 2nd MINI Cooper and I love it. I think this is one of the best yet the interior is better then my 05 and the power is great. I know when I need the speed I got it. I love cutting in and out of traffic in my small MINI. The price was high but what can I say price didnt matter to me it was worth the 38K.

  Just got it - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By Ollie - April 2 - 9:13 am

  Went and bought a 2007 turbo S model. Its a fun car to drive. Bought it for the gas mileage, and I am not dissappointed. Turbo performance is awesome. Just have to get used to a smaller vehicle. Only problem so far is cd player doesnt work. At some point Ill have to take it in, but its a 130 mile drive to get there. Dealers are few and far between.

  Mini-Cooper-Lisciuos - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By Happyboy - February 17 - 10:13 am

  I purchased mine sparkling silver with white roof and side mirrors in Sept 2007! I traded my brand new Audi 2ltr 2dr A3 coupe! I liked the Audi but I absolutley adore the Mini Cooper. It uses less fuel than a trickling summer water ban water saver sprinkler! Driving it is arouses the limbic brain ( limbic brain is the primitve centre of the brain that makes you prick up your ears whe you are half a sleep and you here a noise in the house.) It awakens all your senses- and stimulates all those driving muscles and pleasure centres! Outdrives, out handles and out-happies every other car I have ever had! It looks like a grown ups kids toy when you see it

  Fun Car, When Its Not In the Shop - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By Arisdad - January 16 - 6:50 am

  I first drove a Mini in 1966 and I never forgot it. When the 2007 model came out I decided to buy one. Everything about the car is great: a bicycle fits in the back, it gets great gas mileage, and the overall feel of the car is exceptional. Except...the engine malfunction light came on at 340 miles and it has been in the shop ever since. Mini U.S. and Mini Germany have no idea how to fix it at this point. I am told that it has been joined by another 2007 with the same problem at 380 miles. I would suggest that you avoid buying a 2007 at this point and give them time to work out the bugs if you feel you must have this car.

  Fun, but not reliable or well designed - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By Brian - October 5 - 5:00 am

  Owned/driven my car for 15 months. Fun, but not reliable or well designed. Factory options only (no mods). Since owning, in for repairs SIX times (2x for turbo, 1x for audio amp, 1x for sunroof, 1x for tailpipe recall AND 1 week for replacing a factory built too-small transmission motor mount). My windshield has 3 stone chips and 2 big cracks due to stone hits & the high windshield angle. Engine has cold idle issue where it sounds like a diesel truck for 1-3 minutes. If you want a fun around-town car, are willing to overlook flaws/ major issues, can deal with repair trips to out-of-town dealerships (6 in 15 months), then buy this car. As for me, Ill be selling at the end of the warranty.

  I love it! - 2007 Mini Cooper
  By graphicjoe - August 21 - 5:56 am

  Ive almost reached the break in mileage so I have not really pushed the car to its limits as yet. But it has great handling in all areas, a lot of grunt for a 1600 cc car, and good mileage. I like the jumbo speedo. The unusual placement of controls that receives lots of complaints isnt a problem for an owner. If you drive the car frequently the control placement becames natural. For my needs it is almost perfect.
