The 2014 MINI Cooper for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 MINI Cooper for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Buying the 2014 MINI Cooper is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Cooper
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 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
The 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 6-speed manual. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 7.2 L/100 km, means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. Expect about $12.60 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the Cooper
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. 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. Its 255 litre trunk is enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the Cooper first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Cooper for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Cooper answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.60 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $126 at our price setting.
Talk to a person
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 2014 MINI Cooper from us first.
Ask us about the 2014 MINI Cooper
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2014 MINI Cooper for you and reply within one business day.

Does the 2014 MINI Cooper have recalls?
NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
