Auto loans: the 2018 MINI Cooper
No 2018 MINI Cooper is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2018 MINI Cooper for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 8 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and unknown or other. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
What the figures tell you
Its powertrain is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km. That works out to about $12.95 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Inside and out
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Cooper answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
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$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
