The 2012 MINI John Cooper Works: before you buy
No 2012 MINI John Cooper Works is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2012 MINI John Cooper Works is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and exterior lighting; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-speed manual. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 8.5 L/100 km combined: about 26 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $148.80. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. For luggage, 170 litres means about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who the John Cooper Works suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the John Cooper Works for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
