The 2013 MINI Cooper for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2013 MINI Cooper for sale by us right now. The 2013 MINI Cooper for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 75 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Reading the spec sheet
The 1.6L 4-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed manual, drives it. 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 23 litres, from its 7.7 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $134.80 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,650 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Luggage space is 170 litres, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Cooper first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$2,650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.48 in fuel.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Make a request
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2013 MINI Cooper from us first.
