Mini Cooper Hardtop

The Mini Cooper is a modern homage to a British front-wheel-drive icon. The new version comes in hatchback or convertible body styles, and as their surname implies, both are small. The base engine is a slug, but the turbocharged Cooper S and rabid JCW models are not. Regardless of the engine, expect sprightly handling, surprising spaciousness, and myriad options to help its personality match your own.
