This Year's Model Updates:

For 2012, the Mini Cooper offers the "Mini Yours" series of high-end customization options. A leather-covered dashboard, unique wheels and leather upholstery with contrasting striping and piping are among those optional highlights. A few more standard features, such as an aero kit for JCW versions and floor mats for all Coopers, round out the changes.

Pros:
  • Endearing retro styling
  • Sharp handling
  • Innovative convertible roof
  • Excellent all-around performance in S and JCW trims
  • Stellar fuel economy
  • Highly customizable.
Cons:
  • Weak base stereo.
  • Stiff and noisy ride
  • Poor rearward visibility in convertible
  • Lacks rear legroom

  • Never Again - 2012 Mini Cooper
    By -

    New timing chain 17,000 miles, Check Engine light on CONSTANTLY, new high pressure fuel pump 35000 miles. Out of warranty, with only 48000 miles, told it needs new engine $12,000. Maintenance kept to schedule. But MINI generosity, offered $1500 off new car (trade-in should be around $9,000). NEVER have I had a car that was this bad. Would give it a 0 for reliability and value if it were possible. Spent more time in the shop than on the road.
