The Mini Cooper maintains a lot of what made the original Mini so popular. It's fun to drive and has easy-to-reach limits, and its diminutive size makes it a great city car. But the drawbacks include a serious lack of storage, lackluster fuel economy and a convoluted infotainment system. Unless practicality is a low priority for you, the Mini's faults may be too glaring to ignore.

Overview
Considering how much time we spend in our cars, doesn't it make sense to choose a vehicle that makes us happy? If you're looking to add some fun and personality to your commute, we suggest the 2023 Mini Cooper 2 Door. This spritely little hatchback inherits a lot of the charm of the original Minis from the 1960s, infused with modern engineering and technology from parent company BMW.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper Classic 2dr Hatchback w/Prod End 08/22 (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 6M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.32 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Coming off a styling refresh last year, the Mini Cooper 2 Door returns with only minor changes, including a new Resolute Edition that only brings some color palette revisions. There are also some feature content changes that may evolve over the year as supply chain issues persist. You can count on the Mini Cooper to continue to offer its unique blend of playfulness and performance.
The Mini Cooper 2 Door is showing its age, though, as it was last redesigned nine years ago. In that time, more refined, comfortable and convenient hatchback rivals have come and gone. We suggest checking out newer competitors that include the Mazda 3, Honda Civic and Volkswagen GTI before committing to a new Mini. These fresher alternatives are easier to live with and benefit from newer technology features, but they lack the Mini's personality. Add in its many customization options and the Mini should attract even more extroverts, but keep an eye on how those pricey options affect the bottom line.

Performance
7.5/10
How does the Hardtop 2 Door drive? The Mini presents like it might have more style than substance, but in fact the opposite is true in the handling department. It is its own small bundle of fun, even if it is less powerful than almost any of its competitors. Our test Mini Cooper S, equipped with the quick-shifting automatic transmission, scooted from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. That's a full half-second slower than the Volkswagen Golf GTI with its dual-clutch automatic but bests the manually shifted Honda Civic Si.
When hauling yourself down from speed, the Cooper S is lacking compared to rivals. It took us 120 feet to stop from 60 mph. The Golf GTI needed just 103 feet and the Civic Si 106 feet. The brake pedal feel is too soft and far from communicative — simply put, the brakes are the Mini's biggest dynamic fault. Its steering and handling, on the other hand, are twitchy and alive and give the Mini a stout handling character that almost reminds us of the Minis of old. Its performance is both easy to access and fun to dig into, and we like that about this generation of Mini.

Comfort
7.0/10
How comfortable is the Hardtop 2 Door? Minis have always been known for their harsh ride, and the Hardtop doesn't change that. Even the smallest road imperfections incessantly make their way into the cabin. Our test car produced lots of road and wind noise too. The Mini does claw some comfort points back, however. The front seats are very comfortable and fit a range of body sizes. There's also enough headroom for drivers who are above average height to fit in easily.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? Everything inside the Mini is easy to reach. The doors are long and the openings are large enough to make getting into the front seats a breeze and the back only a small hassle. We also like the Mini's driving position, which feels low down and in the heart of the car.
Visibility is also surprisingly good. The Mini's roof pillars are thin enough that they don't obstruct a driver's view and there are practically no blind spots to speak of. It also has a surprisingly airy cabin for such a small car and never feels cramped inside even with other passengers on board.

Technology
7.0/10
How’s the tech? Because Mini is owned by BMW, a lot of the Cooper's interface mimics a last-generation iDrive setup. That means there's a rotary control flanked by shortcut buttons and a touchscreen. The circular element that the screen sits inside means a very wide, almost letterbox-shaped screen that's compromised. We know the central speedometer is a classic Mini touch, but it might be time to move on from that design motif.
Aside from that, the infotainment is relatively easy to get used to. The shortcut buttons work well, and it has wired and wireless Apple CarPlay but lacks Android Auto. Driver aids are limited too. You can't get blind-spot warning or adaptive cruise control, for example.

Storage
6.5/10
How’s the storage? As you might have guessed, storage is minimal. The cargo area behind the rear seats is just 8.7 cubic feet, which simply pales in comparison to something like a Volkswagen Golf GTI. If you fold the seats down, you get enough storage for bigger items like a set of golf bags, but the seats don't fold flat and the parcel shelf is a pain to remove. The entire process of making the Mini's rear hatch area a usable storage space can only be described as a burden.
There are two cupholders up front, but they're small. That in tandem with a tiny center console and minuscule door pockets means small-item storage is also far from ideal. Fitting a car seat isn't exactly simple either, and having to squeeze one between the rear pillar and a folded front seat is an exercise in extreme patience. All in all, don't expect the Mini to match the practicality of a bigger hatch like the Golf or a sedan like the Honda Civic Si or Hyundai Elantra N.

All in all, don't expect the Mini to match the practicality of a bigger hatch like the Golf or a sedan like the Honda Civic Si or Hyundai Elantra N.
Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the Cooper S will get 31 mpg combined, which is pretty good for a sporty car. Unfortunately, we've found it difficult to match that number in real-world driving.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Hardtop 2 Door a good value? The Mini is competing with far superior performance machines like the Golf GTI and the Elantra N in terms of price. The Mini feels better built than the Hyundai, and the most recent GTI has lost some of the interior quality its predecessor had, making the Mini a nicer place to be in the end. Its performance doesn't quite stack up when you look at the numbers, but in the real world it would be hard to notice the difference. Mini's warranty coverage is generally on par with other small-hatch manufacturers. Mini also offers three years/36,000 miles of free maintenance, which helps elevate its ownership experience over other brands that compete in this space.
Wildcard
9.0/10
There's something permanently fun about a Mini. It's like nothing else on the road. Add to that a lengthy list of customization options and you end up with a car that has significantly more personality than most cars. It's also fun to drive, has easy-to-approach limits, and with a manual transmission, we think it would make an excellent first car for any budding enthusiast.
Which Hardtop 2 Door does Edmunds recommend?
The midrange Cooper S trim gets our recommendation since it delivers more performance than the base model without the stiffer ride of the John Cooper Works version. We'd also suggest opting for the manual transmission for even more driver engagement, and if you don't know how to drive a stick shift, this is a great car to learn on.

2020 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
Second 2dr S I’ve had (other was a 2013). While the iconic package looks great, the electronics were quite faulty; I was unable to use Apple CarPlay for the first four months of ownership, and I’ve had a variety of issues with the speakers. In addition, there are so many things that rattle, likes the HUD, something in the dash, in the trunk area, etc. I wanted to be a Mini guy, but the … poor quality vehicles (and even worse maintenance teams) make it very very difficult to consider. I’ve had the car 9 months, have driven less than 5k mi, and have taken it in for service more than five times already.

2021 MINI Hardtop 2 Door John Cooper Works 2dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I like my Mini but have fallen out of love with it. The biggest complaint is that after a year, the car has multiple rattles, and they are horrendously annoying. At the price point, I would expect a car with higher quality materials and surfaces and more thought placed into useable space. Instead the car has many hard plastic surfaces, a totally useless center armrest that houses a … wireless phone charger that is too small to fit most phones. The cup holders offer zero adjustment and are awkwardly placed. There is very little space to place things such as phone and sun glasses. is also Anything prior to MY 22 will also be missing basic options such as heated steering wheel and blindspot monitoring.
I do mostly like my Mini. It is a blast to drive, but between the multiple intermittent rattles, missing options (for a top of the line model), and quirky interior, I think there are better options out there.

2019 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 6M)
Recently upgraded my lease to the 2019 model in solaris orange. I regret the decision 100%. Acceleration is poor as the automatic gearbox struggle to work out which gear it should be in. In turn, this means there is significant turbo lag. On motorways this performance issue is obvious, especially when changing lanes. In city traffic, good luck accelerating out of a corner. Also gone in … the 2019 model is the hidden dash storage above the glove box and the netting storage pouces on the sides of the footwells. I opted not to get the premium sound upgrade - a choice I regret. The audio quality is like that on a Versa or Rio with less speakers. A very sad Mini.

2023 MINI Hardtop 2 Door video
[MUSIC PLAYING] LAUREN MCCAY: So you want an EV, but you're anxious about range. I get it, so much so that I already did a video about the ones that will take you the furthest right here. So today, I'm bringing you our list of the worst EV ranges that we've tested and stand by. That's right, we don't just take automakers at their EPA-estimated word. We test for ourselves.
And speaking of EPA estimates, thanks to over-the-air updates, car companies are constantly tweaking their powertrains to get the best results. These numbers are current as of this recording. Before I do that, if you want to catch more of our videos, you know what to do-- hit that Like and Subscribe button right now.
OK. So full disclosure, I don't want to come into hot here. So I'm going to start this list off easy, with an EV range that's not great, but still doable. It's the Volvo C40 Recharge, an EV that may leave you safe, but also possibly sorry. It's small, but packs a lot between its fenders, including an operating system powered by Google, and more than 400 horsepower. We got 252 miles to the charge, which at least beats the EPA's 226 mile estimate-- could be worse.
At the number nine spot, that, for us, is the Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. The Taycan represents Porsche's official entrance into EVs. And it doesn't disappoint in so many ways. We've loved its sparkling performance, tech, comfort, and effortless ability. But the range, it's aight. We were able to get 250 miles out of it, which isn't bad-- far more than the EPA's estimate, actually. Just not knocking our socks off, you know what I mean?
Moving on, number eight on our list of EVs with the worst range-- we've got the Audi e-tron. When it first came out, we were wooed by it.
[OPERATIC SINGING]
But over time, it's lost some of its luster. It's still a right-size machine that feels like a two-row version of the Audi Q7. And the electric powertrain only adds to the experience with a smooth, effortless oomph. At 248 miles, it's not terrible. And yet again, we got more than the EPA estimate by about 20 miles. But when you're paying around $70,000 for it, you might want your money to go a bit further-- literally
Some good news though-- Audi knows this is an issue. And for 2024, they're updating the model with an eye towards more range. It's even getting a new name, the Q8 e-tron. Look at that. Next on our list at number seven, the Mercedes-Benz EQB 350. Now, I understand. Building a new electric vehicle from the ground up is no easy feat.
This SUV shares a lot in common with the GLB. But Mercedes yanked out the model's traditional internal combustion engine, and replaced it with front and rear electric motors and a 70 kilowatt hour battery. All that said, this is no lightweight. The range? Well, it's decent-- at 242 miles, out beating the EPA estimate by 15.
Next on our list, it's the Volvo XC40 Recharge. It's Volvo's first stab at an electric SUV. So basically, it's like, if you want to go electric and not shout out to the world that you're doing it, then yeah, go with the XC40. It's a good way to go. But if you want to go long distance, we were only able to squeeze 240 miles out of it. The EPA, 223. So we're trying to get you as much as we can here. But like they say, sometimes your best just ain't good enough.
Halfway through our list, and you might be surprised as to what vehicle holds that number one spot for worst EV range. Another Audi has found its way on our list-- the Audi e-tron Sportback. So before I dump my Debbie Downer rant on you about it, first, here's what we like. It has smooth and decisive acceleration, with well-executed driver assist systems, and a healthy list of standard safety and luxury features.
Its range-- 238 miles. The EPA? Not even close. And given the fact that the best range for an EV is more than 500 miles? Yeah, this one is a bit like lacklust. We're really inching our way towards the one who holds the top spot for the worst EV range. Coming in at number four, it's the Nissan Leaf. Now look, the Nissan Leaf has come a long way since its 2011 model, which was the first mass market electric vehicle to come to America.
We like its quick, smooth acceleration, driver assistance features, and quiet driving experience. But along with its limited storage space for small items, today, its range has been beaten out by nearly every other EV. We managed to squeeze out 237 miles on the last one we tested. Now keep in mind though, that's with the big battery plus model. Thing is, there's an even shorter range Leaf, the standard S, that's less powerful and has a smaller battery.
It's got an EPA rating of only 149 miles. But we haven't tested that one ourselves, so this plus model stays at number four. At the number three spot, it's a brand that's known for being reliable, though sometimes late to the party. I like to call it fashionably late-- the Toyota bZ4X Limited front wheel drive. It took Toyota a long time to produce a mass market electric vehicle.
The question is, was the bZ4X worth the wait? Spoiler alert-- not so much. The bZ4X is comfortable, and packs in lots of features. But its exterior and interior design and lackluster range totally sink it. Its Edmunds tested range sits at 227 miles. That's less than the trim's already disappointing EPA estimate of 242 miles. A lower spec XLE carries at least 10 more than that. That's still disappointing.
At number two, we've got the Mini Cooper SE. Look, you buy a Mini Coop because it's functional, great for day-to-day errands, and let's be honest-- it looks like that groovy Austin Powers vibe is going on. Yeah, baby. Yeah.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
- Yeah, baby. Yeah!
[END PLAYBACK]
LAUREN MCCAY: When you look at it that way, 150 miles from our tested range might be good enough for you. But when you compare it to, say, the Chevy Bolt EUV Premier with 247 miles on it, yeah. I think the grass is a bit greener. And finally, we made it to our number one worst EV range. What a journey it's been-- not one this EV could take. [CHUCKLES] Shade!
If you know this brand and how good their vehicles tend to drive, you might be a bit caught off guard that it's the worst. I mean, it's just rotten. It's just bottom of the barrel. It's just bad--
SPEAKER 1: Lauren!
LAUREN MCCAY: Oh, my bad. I got-- kind of went down the rabbit hole with that one. OK. I've stalled and frustrated you long enough. Our number one worst EV range goes to the Mazda MX-30. Its smooth, eco-conscious interior and interesting exterior design, packed with a nice modern look, couldn't save it from being our worst of the worst, with only 114 miles we tested on our loop. At least that's better than the EPA.
Well, there it is, the honest truth. And yes, you can handle the truth. Does this mean you shouldn't buy any of these on our list? No, not at all. Knock yourself out. Just make sure you're close enough to home when you do, so I don't have to say, I told you so. All right, that's all the cynicism I have in me for one video. I'll see you next time.

Compare the MINI Hardtop 2 Door
MINI Hardtop 2 Door vs. Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 is as fun to drive as the Mini and benefits from a more refined interior and styling that still manages to turn heads. We suggest stepping up to the turbocharged engine, which also comes with all-wheel drive — a rarity among hatchbacks. You may not get as many customization options as the Mini, but you'll enjoy more cargo and passenger space.
MINI Hardtop 2 Door vs. Honda Civic
The Honda Civic Hatchback should be plenty sporty for most drivers, though it's not as engaging as the Mini until you step up to the more expensive Civic Type R. There is the comparably fun Civic Si, but it's only offered in a sedan body style. Either Civic model will provide more space for cargo and rear passengers than the Mini.
MINI Hardtop 2 Door vs. Volkswagen GTI
When it comes to fun hatchbacks, the VW GTI essentially wrote the book. The GTI is more powerful than the John Cooper Works model, delivers similar handling performance, and is also more comfortable and spacious. It may not have the extroverted personality of the Mini, but the GTI makes up for it with a high-quality interior.
