The Mini manages to please a wide variety of drivers, thanks to their levels of equipment separately. A tramp relatively restrained in its 121-hp base trim, even a well-ordered dynamic one, the Cooper is completely contained game diligence grocery-getter or second. Step up to the 181-hp turbocharged Cooper S or 208-hp John Cooper Works model, however, and the Mini becomes a sport compact with acceleration and handling dynamics. With either engine or transmission (six-speed manual or automatic), owners can enjoy excellent fuel economy - up to 32 mpg combined for the base model and 29 mpg combined for the two turbo models.The Mini is about agility, however, and stands out if a winding road or just throwing across the city. The downside is a ride quite firm, specially equipped with larger wheels. Mini Small size also makes it easy to find a suitable parking spot, but rear visibility endanger the convertible will make it difficult to reach that point.Coopers All comes well equipped, but the list of options is chalk full of luxury and countless customization options. The cabin is very dear to the eye, but can be a head scratcher for use. The pie plate-sized center-mounted speedometer honors last of the Mini, but from a functional point of view is a bit silly. Meanwhile, the climate controls are difficult to use and the stereo controls are not much better. The phrase "form over function" is quite adequate to describe the interior of the Mini Cooper.In general, however, we found the Mini Cooper is one of the most beloved cars on the road. While it may have its flaws, Mini buyers are likely to consider that "whims" worth living with little given to the hatchback and convertible unlimited fun and character.
