Auto loans: the 2014 MINI Cooper
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2014 MINI Cooper for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page puts the 2014 MINI Cooper in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Cooper
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 48 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 7.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 22 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $37.80 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
The Cooper in everyday use
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who the Cooper suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Cooper tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.60 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $126 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Questions first?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
