The Mini Cooper's cheeky charm and dedicated small-scale take on motoring are arguably its most bankable characteristics, and few shoppers enter a Mini showroom by accident. Still, the modern Mini is a fully baked automobile, powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 161 horsepower in standard guise and 201 horsepower in the S trim. Both use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It doesn't scrimp on tech or features either, offering the same connectivity options and safety features as less extroverted vehicles. In addition to the two- and four-door versions, there's also a Cooper Convertible, not to mention a Cooper Electric that we review separately. Whichever Mini Cooper fits your style, you'll find a lot of personality—and a smidge of practicality—baked into its tiny footprint.
