HOW MUCH BIGGER IS THE MINI THAN THE CLASSIC MINI?

The MINI Cooper is about one foot wider and two feet longer (12'1.6") than the Austin and Morris Mini. The same width as the Cooper, the Clubman offers a bit more cargo space with its 12'11" length.

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

So many amazing features come standard on both the MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S, that we sometimes forget about the great options: Auto Transmission, Dual-pane panoramic sunroof, computer navigation system with GPS, heated seats, Xenon headlamps, amazing harman/kardon sound system and lots more.

WHY DO YOU HAVE THE MINI ONE IN EUROPE AND NOT AMERICA?

We talked to many people and it just seemed that there was very little US demand for the 90 HP MINI ONE. The US is a very horsepower conscious country, and few people voiced interest in a 90 HP car. In the US, even inexpensive small cars, such as the Hyundai Accent, Toyota Echo, Daewoo Lanos, and Kia Rio have more than 90 HP. The MINI One simply would not offer competitive performance. The price difference between the MINI Cooper and MINI One is only about US$1800, and the MINI One has much fewer standard features and horsepower. The MINI One is popular in Europe, where fuel prices are three to four times higher, and commuting speeds are slower. Even minor fuel mileage savings makes the difference in that setting.

WHAT KIND OF SAFETY FEATURES DO THE MINI COOPER, MINI COOPER S AND MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS HAVE?

We feature an extensive list of both active and passive safety features in all of our models: Incredibly nimble handling, an Anti-lock brake system with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC), a highly sophisticated and comprehensive 6-airbag system (7 for the Countryman and 4 for the Convertible, plus an Active Rollover Protection bar), an extremely rigid body, a breakaway battery cable, crash sensors, a flat tire monitor, and the list goes on. On top of all that, the Convertible models include reinforced door sills, strengthened A-frame and side-thorax airbags in front seats. In addition to driver, front passenger and side airbags, each MINI Countryman model is equipped with standard curtain airbags, located in the roof lining and directly above the side windows. Yes, safety is key. Please visit the Learn > Facts, Features and Specs section of MINIUSA.COM for a full list and more details.

HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CRASH TESTS DONE ON A MINI?

MINIs have an exceptionally stiff body structure, six airbags, and many more advanced safety features. The 2010 MINI hardtop models received 5-Star driver-side impact and rollover ratings, plus 4-Star ratings for frontal impact on both the driver's and passenger's side. Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safecar.gov program. Please visit the MODELS > Features section of MINIUSA.COM for a full list and more details.

HAS THE MINI BEEN TESTED IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS?

The MINI has been tested in the harshest conditions. We picked the MOST extreme places to do our testing. For cold weather testing we went to the Arctic Circle in Finland, during the winter. For hot testing we drove the car aggressively and repeatedly through Death Valley (USA).

IS THERE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AVAILABLE IN THE MINI COOPER?

Yes, an automatic transmission is available for all MINI Cooper models.

DO THE REAR SEATS FOLD DOWN?

They sure do. And they are a 50/50 split, so you can put one or both down at a time. And in reference to the MINI Countryman, the more the merrier. These models come standard with two fold-down independent rear seats. With the use of a pull strap, passengers can release the backrest on each seat for a desired comfort level or fold them down completely to load more precious cargo. For model-specific information, check out the "Features" link of the appropriate model in the MODELS section of our main navigation.

CAN I GET A MINI WITH A SKI OR BIKE RACK?

You sure can. In fact you can configure a MINI with either a ski or bike rack within the "Build Your Own" section of MINIUSA.COM. Contact your preferred dealer to inquire about ordering a rack to outfit your car.

HOW BIG IS THE FUEL TANK?

Topping off the petrol tank for the Cooper and Cooper S would require 50 liters, which is about 13.2 US gallons. Topping off the tank for the MINI Countryman and Paceman requires 47 liters, which is about 12.4 US gallons.

DO YOU OFFER ALL-WHEEL DRIVE?

It depends on the model. MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S are both Front Wheel Drive (FWD). However, the MINI Countryman and Paceman come with an optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) comes standard on all models.

I'M A PRETTY BIG GUY. WILL I FIT IN A MINI COOPER OR MINI COOPER S?

With its wheels spread out to the corners as far as possible and our plant on roof, MINIs have a surprising amount of cabin space and headroom. In general, a MINI Cooper or MINI Cooper S can comfortably accommodate people as tall as 6' 7". For more information about who and what can fit in a particular MINI model: select that model in the MODELS menu, click on "Features" and check out the "Dimensions & Cargo Space" section.
