How it scores for you10 scores
Go-kart handling and a slick OLED-led cabin make this one of the most entertaining 161-hp cars around, but two doors, 8.8 cu ft of cargo and a busy ride demand real sacrifice.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 4 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -6 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 56% of cars we track.
8.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 8% of other hatchbacks we track.
Two doors, four seats, token rear legroom and just 8.8 cu ft of cargo (34 folded) place it among the smallest vehicles sold in the US.
Classic go-kart handling: quick steering, tight chassis, short wheelbase and low weight make the 161-hp Cooper entertaining well beyond its output. FWD-only and modest power cap the ceiling.
New-gen MINI OS9 with circular OLED touchscreen, head-up display, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and slick graphics; menu-heavy interface and loss of physical controls hurt usability.
Firm, sporty damping and small wheels-at-corners geometry make the ride busy, and road noise is notable. Supportive seats and good front-seat ergonomics offset some of it.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 0 lb; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
