There are some people who love the term “cute” and everything it encompasses. If you’re one of them and you want a cute car, then the Mini Cooper is most certainly for you. This classic little convertible, which can seat up to four passengers at a time, is nothing short of adorable and makes an excellent choice for anyone who wants to make a sure statement with their car.
MILEAGE SPECS
While the Mini Cooper may be attractive, it is also highly functional and a lot more practical than its cutesy looks may lead you to believe. Take, for example, its mileage specs. This car gets surprisingly good gas mileage, proving it’s not just nice for looks after all. In fact, you can expect about 28 MPG when cruising through the city streets and an even more impressive 36 MPG when you brave the highway.
TRANSMISSION SPECIFICS
With this vehicle, you’ll also benefit from a 7-speed Steptronic DCT transmission.
ENGINE SPECS
Think a cute little car can’t pack a powerful punch? Think again! The Mini Cooper does great with its Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded I-3, 1.5 L engine
BRAKES SPECS
Furthermore, as a Mini Cooper owner, you’ll benefit from reliable anti-lock brakes.
STEERING DETAILS
Featuring a curb to curb turning diameter of 35.4 feet and rack-pinion steering, this car is as easy to maneuver as it is on the eyes.

- A front and rear wheel size of 15 X 5.5 inches
SUSPENSION SPECS

CARGO AREA DETAILS
Perhaps the only area in which this adorable vehicle falls short is its cargo carrying capabilities. While you may be able to load some items into it, it’s not meant for hauling heavy loads, but, then again, most of its fans don’t use it for that purpose.
