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.

Funtastic!!!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By williblu - October 24 - 10:00 amI absolutely love my Mini Cooper S. I get excited when I have to go on a trip. I find my self forgetting to do multiple errands on one trip so I can take the car out again for a spin! The car drives like a dream, does great u- turns. Features and controls are comfortable and within easy reach. Overall, I am very pleased. The only thing to watch out for is that if you want one, you will have to wait and the dealers are adding a hefty markup because they are in such high demand. My advice - Get two!

Awesome!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
By venture - October 19 - 2:00 amHaving seen a mini at a dealership in my hometown,I was going to buy it on the spot! My husband has the cooler head of the two of us and researched and found the nearest dealer Century Mini, in Greenville SC. I love the fact that our dealership sponsers owner appreciation nights and the maufacturer sends us little gifts in the mail. I have had a wonderful experience with this vehicle, the only problems being that the safety bag light malfunctioned and the trim on top of the front windshield kept coming loose ( both have been fixed). I highly recommend this vehicle for those who want to follow the path less traveled

The only problem is the crowd. - 2002 Mini Cooper
By kilian - September 11 - 10:00 amGreat fun to drive. It took a little while to get the hang of the folding seats when someone gets into the back seats. The headlights are great compared to my 1988 VW Quantum synchro stationwagen. Only 250 Miles so far. Wheel rims needed cleaning from brake dust after only 100 Miles. I hope its just from the breaking in period. I love this car, and I hope to have it for many many years.

Attention Getter - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Mini-drvr - September 11 - 10:00 amThis car corners like its on a rail! Go- cart-like handling and roomy interior. (For two passangers) While the front seats are very comfortable, there is little leg room for additional passangers. Gadgets! This car is so cool. Heated seats, headlamp washer jets, on-board computer, retro interior styling just to name a few. Dont purchase this car if you dislike attention. People love the way this thing looks. The 17" rims and low profile run-flat Pirelli tires with the wide stance gives it a bulldog appearance. The "S" model looks aggressive with the hood scoop to feed the super charger.

Love My Mini - 2002 Mini Cooper
By steve - September 10 - 7:06 amI was totally bummed when my Alfa was totaled (pun intended) but owning this Mini has made the passing a positive experience. This is the most fun car I have driven in a long time. Even though I didnt get the faster model, it is plenty quick around town. On a recent 4 hour road trip, we couldnt believe the gas mileage we got on the highway going back and forth from NY to DC in one tank of gas! The car cruised effortlessly at 80 mph the whole way and was a comfortable ride.

If you drive >5 miles you need this car - 2002 Mini Cooper
By VWBusType2 - May 30 - 2:00 amI was out cruising in my 71 VW Bus when I was flagged down by a guy in a 50-something Mini. We checked out each others rides, and ever since then Ive been in love with these things! Driving them is a blast... racing with people on the interstate is even better... especially when there are curves involved! The look you get when you get to the next light after roasting your tires through 1st and 2nd is pretty nice too... The Mini may look small and be deemed a "waste of money" but until you actually drive it (if the owner will ever let you) the amount of fun to be had is unmatched.

Luv my Mini - 2002 Mini Cooper
By Marco Polo - May 30 - 2:00 amMy experience with my Mini is both a love affair and fun to drive. Not for a long time do I find myself missing driving a car if not for a few days. My Mini is like a family member. It has personality, charm, and people love to admire it.
