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.

I like it... when it works. - 2007 Mini Cooper
By moosamabob - January 28 - 10:24 amBought the car used with all the bells and whistles of 2007. Except for a reliable engine. While everything looked great on paper, it just doesnt deliver on the reliability front. B/t 70k and 80k miles, its been in the shop for the timing chain, high pressure fuel pump, exhaust manifold, and the oil filter housing, each of which cost at least $1000. Plus other misc repairs. In all Ive dumped $2300 into it since I got it a year ago. Thankfully I bought a warranty, doesnt cover everything though. On top of this, it has a very harsh suspension w/ the 17" rims, its pretty noisy inside, it consumes way too much oil, everything for it is expensive, and its entirely a pain to own. Not happy.
