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 Franky2k - March 11 - 10:00 am

  I test drove the S on march and I thought it had great handling and power. Now that I have one and Ive had some time to motor around I think its a superb car. No problems here. Excellent.

  Magic car - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By acetonic - March 11 - 10:00 am

  This is the best car Ive had the pleasure to own and the most fun to drive. Im 60" and have plenty of room. The seats and wheel can be adjusted to fit anyone. A friend of mine who is 65" even found a comfortable seating position with plenty of headroom. The performance and handling is super. I find myself searching out the longest, twistiest route to my destination. Doesnt feel like a small car at all when you are on the road, only when its time to park. Highly recommended.

  Driving Orgasm - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Minime - February 15 - 10:00 am

  This car rocks. Im a car salesman at an Audi dealership, so I drive TTs and S4s all the time, but this car beats them all in my opinion. Its not the fastest off the line, but I was doing 110mph before I knew it, and I wasnt even trying. For all you minivan moms and BMW snobs who bash this thing for not being fun, youre not driving it right. Dont be afraid to rev the engine a little, thats where the fun is. And the handling is awesome.

  MINI Cooper - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By V M - January 16 - 8:20 pm

  My MINI Cooper has been one of the best cars that I have ever owned. I would buy another MINI in a heartbeat. I am 510" 240 lbs. and fitting in cars with the width of my back is hard but I fit in this car with no problem. Everyone I know fits in my car, from my 64" brother to my 54" 120lb girlfriend. This car is great.

  THE BEST - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By RON NORRIS - November 2 - 10:00 am

  If you want a small sporty car with pizzaz, get one! The fit and finish is just about perfect. I used to work at the factory where they are made. They must have changed a lot of things, because the MGs we turned out were crap in comparison> Ron

  Pride and Joy - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By DavidP - October 28 - 10:00 am

  Although I did not pay as much for my MINI as most of the reviewers on this site did I love my car just the same. Im extremely satisfied with the uniqueness and the overall performance of the car. I can only predict that the people that gave it a bad review never drove the old one.

  dont call me cute! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By boboso - October 22 - 10:00 am

  "What a cute little car!What is it?"is a phrase I often hear about my Mini Cooper S. OK, aside from the bug-eyed smiley face up front, and the small size, those features belie the snarling little monster underneath the hood that creates the very generous power and torque band this supercharged, 1.6 liter mill creates! Oh yeah, and the BMW-inspired suspension (multi-link rear, ala 3-series) will devour tight turns and freeway on-ramps. Kinda makes you think you are a lesser version of Juan-Pablo Montoya!You are also to be pleased by the well-thought interior, the rear seats (fold-down) seem roomier than a CLK Mercedes.
