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.

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.

2018 MINI Hardtop 2 Door Cooper 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 3cyl Turbo 6M)
We had an ‘08 Cooper S automatic for a couple of years; great rabid-squirrel-like acceleration and tight/harsh go-cart handling. Exciting car to drive but unrefined (and had a serious throttle lag issue). Fast forward to our ‘18 Cooper non-S (but still turbo 3-cylinder) with Premium Package, automatic trans, etc. This car continues to impress every time I drive it. Tight build … quality, comfortable but fun driving, great fuel economy and premium feel. I have driven everything from old 3-cylinder Geo Metros to BMWs, 420HP Mustangs and our current 330HP Jeep Commander...this Mini delivers effortless low-rev acceleration/handling while returning 33mpg city/42mpg highway (during our ownership). This one’s a long-term keeper. The only negative I can think of is that we wished it would have stayed as small as the previous generation.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 MINI Hardtop 2 Door, so we've included reviews for other years of the Hardtop 2 Door since its last redesign.

NICK YEKIKIAN: When you think of the word "hot hatch," the Mini Cooper S we've been running in our long-term fleet for the last year might not be the first car that comes to mind-- or the second. And what we have here is almost the quintessential modern mini. It's painted in British racing green, has a punchy little turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood, and is the two-door hardtop model. But only almost because while we would have loved the 6-speed manual, Mini could only give us one with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
We typically like to buy our long-term cars. But Mini lent us this one in signature spec for a year. A base Mini Cooper starts at around $27,000. This more powerful Mini Cooper S starts at a tick under $31,000. But ours was optioned up to $33,700 thanks to options like the driver assistance package and the touch-screen navigation. After just over a year and 16,000 miles, we're pretty confident that we have a well-rounded impression.
Let's start with the good stuff. The Mini's most obvious advantage is in the name. It's weeny little wheelbase and short overhangs means it's agile around city streets. Also, because it's so small, visibility is great. It's easy to maneuver, park, and squeeze into small gaps in traffic. As far as efficiency goes, it's been hit or miss. Over the course of our ownership, we've averaged 26.2 miles to the gallon, which won't win any efficiency awards. But on one of our more frugal runs, we netted a hybrid-rivaling 38.2 mpg.
We've been able to squeeze almost 400 miles out of its tiny 11-gallon fuel tank. And that's no small task. So why the large gap in mpg? Well, it comes down to one thing. This thing is actually really fun to drive. It might not seem like you can have that much fun because it only has 189 horsepower. But it's really fun to squeeze and squirt in and out of traffic or out of corners. And it really grips and goes. It's like a little go-kart. We hit zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds. But it feels a lot quicker from behind the driver's seat.
Even though there's not that much power, zero to 60 lands somewhere between the Golf GTI and the Civic Si. And that's because there isn't that much weight to lug around. To be fair, it's not as sharp a driver's car as our long-term Subaru BRZ. But on a back road, it feels like it can keep up with any of the cars I just mentioned. But don't take just my word for it.
JOHN ADOLPH: I've got a hellish commute. So it was comfortable when you were going 5 miles an hour. But when it opens up finally-- a big section of my commute is on the 110 in Pasadena. And it handled the curves. And it was just enough power to have a lot of fun. And it handles great.
NICK YEKIKIAN: By the way, if you want to read up more about the Mini, the BRZ, or our long-term Civic Si, feel free to head to Edmunds' long-term blog. And be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel too. And the automatic transmission, despite not being our first choice, is snappy and easy to use thanks to the steering-wheel-mounted paddles. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends for the Mini because key pieces of this package are compromised.
Remember the sporty handling and agility I mentioned earlier? It's the result of some really stiff suspension. Our test car came on 17-inch wheels, which are too big for a car this small. And they're wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 low-profile summer tires. The result is a lot of road and tire noise that makes its way into the cabin. And you kind of just grit your teeth every time you go over a pothole or an expansion joint. Needless to say, the Mini isn't perfect for longer trips, as one of our editors found out when he took it from California all the way to Utah.
JAKE SUNDSTROM: We took the Mini Cooper on about 1,500-mile road trip to Salt Lake City. And while, for the most part, it was a pretty good road trip car-- the fuel economy is great, especially on the highway. And when you get to your destination, it's also a terrific city car, easy to park, easy to get around in. There were a couple of things that made it not such a great experience. I think the first one was that the ride can be a little bit stiff. There's no real lumbar support.
The side padding is also not terrific. The other thing is that the air conditioning is just not very effective. It's very, very noisy, especially on warm days, but even on days when it's in the mid 80s. It does struggle to keep the entire car cool. And that was a pretty big drawback, especially when we were driving through warmer places on the way to Salt Lake City, including Nevada, Arizona, the desert, basically.
NICK YEKIKIAN: We knew the back seats were tight going in. And we've only put full-size adults back here for really short trips. And we're talking like to the store and back and nothing else. As for putting a car seat back here, it's miserable, as my colleague, Will, found out.
WILL KAUFMAN: I figured I'd try and get my toddler into the back seat of this. Getting his car seat in was a huge pain in the butt. Every car seat is a little different, based on the way that they're shaped. But for my car seat, I had to turn it upside down and sort of Tetris it in through the door. It was a pain in the butt. The only way to get the car seat set up is to climb in through the driver's side so that you can get into the back of the Mini and basically kneel on the floor and attach the car seat.
And I actually wound up doing the same thing when I was getting my kid in. The way that car is shaped, it's just difficult to lean around the door pillar in a parking lot and get my kid all buckled in tightly. So even just to buckle my kid in, I was still climbing in through the driver's side of the car. And he didn't even really like riding in this car.
NICK YEKIKIAN: If you want to fit anything of any size back here, you got to do some Tetris with the rear seats. And it's the only way you're going to get a laundry basket or anything bigger in there at all. Golf clubs, forget about it. But, Nick, wait. It's a Mini. What did you expect? And to that I would say, the Mini is bigger than it's ever been. And we don't think they've made the best use of that space, even in the front seats. The door pockets are barely big enough for your phone. The cup holders are tiny. And the center console is kind of a joke.
The last pain point for the Mini-- and this isn't really our biggest complaint, but it's still worth mentioning-- is the infotainment. This 8.8in display sits inside this circular housing. And there's a ton of black plastic on either side. And that means that its placement is compromised. And the menu icons are tiny, which means there's going to be a lot of tapping that goes on to get to whatever it is you want to see or do. Also it runs an older version of iDrive, which means menus for days. There is an iDrive-style controller. But it's sort of out of the way and in an awkward spot to use. And we don't think anybody's going to use that over just tapping the screen.
Also you might as well just skip straight to CarPlay. But there's no Android Auto. So if you have an Android phone, you're kind of out of luck. Thankfully, the Mini was a low-maintenance machine. Nothing broke. And aside from the 285 bucks we spent on a new tire, it ran without a single issue. Our maintenance costs came out to zero. And aside from that new tire, the Mini only made one other dealer visit for an oil change that was free of charge. You'd have to think pretty hard about if the Mini is right for you. It's great for city dwellers and makes a fun first car for enthusiasts.
In the right conditions and on the right road, you can just catch a glimpse of the old Mini magic. But its interior space is crowded with a lot of compromises. And if your household size is bigger than just two, the Mini might not fit into your lifestyle. It's also worth noting that there's a new Mini coming right around the corner. And fans might want to wait to see what Mini has in store for the first new car in an entire decade. Overall, it's been real with the Mini. Thanks for watching. We'll catch you on the next one.
They're eagle ones?

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.
