The 2012 MINI Roadster for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2012 MINI Roadster for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2012 MINI Roadster, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the Roadster
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 1.6L 4-cylinder 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.
Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.9 L/100 km. Expect about $13.83 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Roadster
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
How big it is
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Roadster answers the big questions. A test week in the Roadster tells you more than any review. Try the Roadster on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.83 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138.30 at our price setting.

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
