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.

By CqqPER - November 9 - 5:13 amFor a first year of production vehicle, my Mini has been almost trouble-free. Its a bargain to boot. It is very well designed and constructed. This car is so much fun one should be issued at birth.

Very upset!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By ghost - October 10 - 4:30 amI purchased my 2002 Mini last Aug. 2007. I have driven it less than 3 thousand miles..if even that much. I was told today that something called the Final Drive needed to be replaced and the Transmission was messed up. Being that our economy is so great and I cant get a job- I couldnt afford the thousands it cost to fix it.. and lost over thousands in letting it go for pennies. I am saddened beyond belief that a car that I thought was so incredible, after all, a BMW etc., turned out to be the biggest lemon that I have ever purchased. OK.. I loved that car for the whole time I had it.. and now.. feel so very let down!

2002 Mini Cooper S - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Lisa - September 17 - 10:00 pmThis car has been a real joy to drive. Not only does it handle exceptionally well in all weather conditions, it gets great mileage and has been very reliable. I replaced the run-flat tires with some wider softer tread tires, and that really made the car ride much more smoothly. I just carry a can of flat fixer in case I ever get a flat, which I have not in all the years Ive owned it. I always tell people that the mini is not a luxury car, it drives like a sports car. The design is extremely utilitarian, which I like! I think everyone should own a Mini!

Instant Celebrity - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Tracker - July 9 - 10:00 am42 mpg on the highway last weekend! Whoo hoo! This little car delivers: fun to drive, economical on gas and overall price, and a babe magnet (both sexes). I have such a great time driving my MINI, I just cant stop smiling. When I park my car, usually theres somebody asking me questions and when I return to the car often it has attracted a crowd of admirers.

THE BEST - 2002 Mini Cooper
By green cooper - May 28 - 10:00 amThis is a great little car. You cant get anything better for under $20k. Heck even $35K. The people who put the bad reviews on here are crazy, what were they expecting, a Porsche? Come on, get real. Its not quite perfect but I cant recommend it high enough.

Cant Stop Drivin this Car! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By SMiniGoes - April 9 - 10:00 amYou cant possibly have more fun on 4 wheels than in this car. After test driving the regular Cooper, we had the good fortune of landing an S. What a pocket rocket! Handles with such precision and other than the obvious rough ride over the bumps, this car does not feel like a little car. Its so solid and comfortable. If you cant enjoy this car, get a Camry and live a boring and predictable life! Motor On!

Love the - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Colin Finlay - April 9 - 10:00 amI bought Cooper "S for fun and it is not disappointing! Whilst other cars may have higher performance figures for acceleration and grip it is the USABILITY of the performance that makes this stand out from ANY vehicle I have owned in the past. What is amazing about the S is that the average driver (like me) can easily make use of the package. On a twisty English country road a Jaguar driver just gave up and waved me through effortless fun Be warned you will be smitten!!
