The 2011 MINI Cooper: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 MINI Cooper; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Thinking about the 2011 MINI Cooper? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 123 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and air bags; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
It runs 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 7.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 23 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $39.90 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Room inside
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. With 170 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Cooper answers more than any brochure. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.30 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
