Car dealership: the 2011 MINI Cooper
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 MINI Cooper for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2011 MINI Cooper, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Cooper
NHTSA has 123 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and air bags. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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.
Its combined rating is 7.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.30 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Cooper
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the Cooper
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. At 170 litres, the trunk fits about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
If the Cooper is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Over to you
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 MINI Cooper from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2011 MINI Cooper for you and reply within one business day.

Can I rent a 2011 MINI Cooper before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2011 MINI Cooper have recalls?
NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2011 MINI Cooper cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $2660.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
