Expert Snapshot

New or Notable

•Newly available Mini Yours personalization options
•Three body styles, including new coupe
•Convertible's Openometer tracks top-down time

What We Like

•Turbo acceleration (S)
•Convertible's cargo versatility
•Handling
•Strong brakes
•Gas mileage
•Many options priced individually

What We Don't

•Overly firm ride (S)
•Gauge legibility
•Control ergonomics
•Quality of some materials
•Transparent sunshade (hardtop)

The Cooper lineup includes a hardtop, coupe and convertible model. The body styles come in base and S trim levels, with S models turbocharged for more power. Although there's no car quite like a Mini, the Cooper, which seats up to four people, competes with the Volkswagen Eos, VW Beetle, Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder and BMW 1 Series.
