The 2020 MINI Cooper: before you buy
No 2020 MINI Cooper is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2020 MINI Cooper for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 7.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 23 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.13. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who rents the Cooper
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Cooper answers the big questions. Rent the Cooper for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Cooper on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
